A pipe wrench? What did you fasten it to? It’s always best to use a tool designed for the job but in a pinch you have to use what you have to use. Glad it all worked out for you..

Great video, I to had to lower the engine as well get the pump in (It came out on pieces). I didn’t have access to a serpentine adjustment tool however, a pipe wrench worked just as good.
Sounds scary. Glad it worked for you but I can’t recommend using the jack to lift the crow bar against the engine block.. Sounds like several things could of gone wrong. Maybe not but I am having a hard time picturing it in my head. Again I am glad you got it fixed..
I had the Same Problem with Removing the Water pump not enough room, I used a crow bar on side of the engine block then lifted the crow bar with a jack…worked perfectly gave me the Good enough amount of room to pull out and install the pump..
We didn’t but if your vehicle isn’t cooling right then you might try that. We just filled it up with a 50/50 blend and after running it for a few minutes added more if it was needed.
Thanks for the video. Do you have to bleed any air out of the cooling system after this job?
someone had the wrong antifreeze in there to begin with, its bast to use a HOAT antifreeze which is red in color
Thank you for the advice. Good luck with the power steering pump.
Yep, that’s what I had to do – I dropped the engine and put the floor jack underneath it with a 2×4 as recommended in a dodge forum. I jacked up the floor jack until it was on the oil pan and then took out the engine mounts. I had my buddy SLOWLY drop the jack while I was wiggling it out.
Now I need to remove the power steering pump – ugh.
We were able to remove it by applying a small amount of pressure to remove it. If you do this make sure you don’t apply any pressure to the shaft. The engine mounts are what hold the engine in place. You could probably remove one and raise or drop the engine as necessary to remove the water pump. This wasn’t necessary in our case.
I can’t seem to get my water pump OUT of the hole. It’s like it’s too large to fit in the space. Is there a way to pry it somehow? Some posts say to release the engine mounts but I’m not sure where that is.
