Do you have to take the motor mount bracket and the water pump pulley before you change the water pump on a 1992 Toyota Paseo?

Yes. You do. the motor mount bracket is directly in front of a bolt that holds the water pump in place, therefore, we had to remove it, along with the timing belt cover, and a few other various things that were in the way. It is not a quick job, that is for sure! Yes.

It is not a quick job, that is for sure! Not necessarily. The water pump HOUSING is held to the block by one bolt which you can see looking behind the top of the pump, and two nuts below the pump. All three run perpendicular to the pump towards the block. You will have to loosen the alternator, remove the belt, and push the alternator towards the fire wall to get it out of the way. Removing the oil dipstick neck helps in providing extra room. There is one bolt (10mm) holding the pipe coming off the back of the water pump housing to the block. It is under the intake manifold and somewhat a pain to get to, but it can be done. Just follow the pipe back with your hand and you will feel a small hose coming off the top of the pipe. Immediately behind it is a "clamp" that is permanently affixed to the pipe. Follow it with your fingers to the underside of the pipe and you will feel the head of the bolt. Removing the bolt allows for some play in the pipe so you can pull the entire water pump/pump housing assembly away from the block. Once free of its mounts, rotate the entire assembly counter-clockwise and it will come free from the pipe. Then all you have to do is remove the 5 or 6 bolts holding the pump to the housing. Installation is the reverse.
