tedsmart Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hello the other annoying thing that came from my trip to the cape of Fraser island was a squeak, coming so I thought from the alternator, I've had a very carful listen and its quite hard but I'm 75% sure its coming from the water pump! I jumped to the conclusion that it was the alternator because I changed all the belt tensioner bearing the other month and the water pump has been changed because the bearing was squeaking 2 years ago, the receipt says 24/05/10! surely they should last longer than 2 years!! after spraying CRC on the back of the pulley it stopped the squeak, can u change the bearing without taking the pump off? Cheers ted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcan bomber Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm only using my phone Ralph so signatures dont show. Anyway, I've never seen a 300 waterpump so i dont know if just the bearing can be changes. If its anything like a 200 waterpump the bearing can be changed but the amount of hassle involved makes it pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 much easier to swap the pump complete, then investigate changing the bearing in the removed pump, that would be the quick way to get the vehicle back on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
