Can a water pump fall off?

Is it just me, or is your timing belt cover missing?

No it is not.

and for vehigaz, the timing belt and wp have been replaced. The fan assembly is not attached to the pump,the pump is behind the timing cover.The only issues are whether the bolt holes are stripped and that the fan has to be replaced. shawn

thanks so much you guys! it sounds like i could just buy the fan clutch and fan blade from St Charles and bolt them on myself, right? (as long as the bolts aren't stripped) is there any special equipment i'd need to get the serpentine belt on? i'm just wondering how'd i'd get that on and make sure its tight. THANKS!!
