I just did one a few days ago. Only removed, cover to access tensioner, the belt from tensioner, intake filter assembly, 4 screws that hold, AC compressor, 4 screws and plug to AC fan. 1 screw that holds the heater hose to the pump and the 4 screws that held the pump. Ioosen the engine mount and jack the engine in an angle where it'll make room to pull out the water pump.
Man this makes no sense! I can't get the exhaust manifold off. What else needs to be off? The exhaust manifold is in the way of the engine mount. The exhaust pipe is in the way of the manifold as well. I have everything unbolted but not enough play to get any of it off.

thank you for posting this!! i have a 2011 sx4, not really looking at replacing it when the time comes, but your video is great!
The 2010 is a pita
How many hours did it take you to swap the water pump?
How do you disconnect the A/C it isn't pressurized?
On a 2010, the tensioner is forward of the balancer still 14 mm
Very helpful!!!
I have a 2012 crossover and my exhaust mounts are different and so is my engine mount

Thanks for watching
What all tools did you use
A chapter should be made for each major assembly
