NO there is NO CHAIN REMOVAL for doing a 3.6 engine water pump, just the serpentine drive belt. jkeaton and larryl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Water pump change on 3.6 requires working threw passenger wheel well. Motor mount needs to be removed and engine supported with a jack stand. A decent torque wrench needs to be used on aluminum engine work like this. Replace the plastic housing with thermostat/bleed screw ($20 item) while doing this job. Use a new pump, not a reman unit. If you struggle with brake jobs…stay away from doing this repair on a daily driver. Free advice worth everything you pay for it. jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
