My first time removing the impeller shroud...
on p 21 step 12 of Haynes, it says to remove the 3 hex bolts and 7 cheesehead screws, and the front half of the impeller housing should come off. Mine is hung up on the driver's side by the alternator. So then it says "if it can't be readily removed", to remove the impeller and pulley. Ok, I got the 3 bolts out of the impeller (these were hex bolts for me, not "multi tooth socket head screws"). Do I now just pull the impeller and pulley off together? Does anything else have to be removed? Seems like I would have to undo the large (24mm?) bolt on the alternator to get that pulley off... Any other tips for this? Thanks Rich |

look for more screws.
Three sounds like to few. There are screws around the edge, easy enough to spot. There are also screws in recessed areas... I cant recall where they all are....but look harder. There are dowel pins that give you the last little fight at the end...but be gentle so you dont crack it. Rich |
