Blake's Garage I just barely started my own you tube channel last month. I’m going to subscribe to yours. Any Honda questions let me know. I have 20 years dealership experience. I have my own shop now.😉
Blake's Garage Primarily Honda automobiles. Of course working on small engines I’ve been doing that since I was nine years old so just about anything I guess!
Just did mine, 2008 Acadia, needed to do tensioner/idler pulley, water pump was never done and for $60 bucks pump and dexcool, I went that extra mile. Did everything from top side, didn't pull tire or fender liner. Idler pulley goes through lower alternator bracket, have to loosen alternator and tip sideways 2 remove idler bolt(won't clear fender well if u dont). Yes, kinda sucks with just hand tools, BUT,,can all be done topside.
If you had to do another water pump on an Acadia is is it easier through the bottom or through the top of the vehicle just removing the fuse Box and the motor mount?
Good information. But I must say, it is so irritating to see mechanics put the lug cap face down and use it as a tray. Americas Tire company did that with mine and scratched 2 of them up. The guy that did it replaced them.
Maybe it's because mine is a 2012 but there's no way possible to pull it through the bottom I should have just went through the top this video was a waste of my time absolute BS on the 2012 you cannot pull it out that way
You did the work in a simple way without complications.
thank you
Thanks for the tips. Much easier than disassembling the whole top.

How did you get the top right bolt off on water pump

I’m not sure how to say I hear my fan motor a lot and I just got my water pump about six months ago and noticed has been going up is this bad
Have you done a thermostat replacement on the Acadia also? I’m doing Water pump & Thermostat, upper & lower hose
replacement today
I'm sorry I dont think I have. Hopefully it's no big deal for you though
Okay this is the problem When it sits in idols the temperature goes up I change the thermostat and water pump 1-21-21 of this year
I jacked up on floor and the pulley is kicking my ass trying to get back on! I already lost 1 bolt
how long did it take from start to finish?
I'm sorry I dont remember exactly. 2-3 hours I think

Sorry you chose to waste your time on my free video versus using common sense for your specific application lol.
