Can a water pump fall off?

[ChicagoKelly]

thanks. i wanted to make the pics smaller but couldnt figure out how to do it!

so if i just tighten the fan clutch back on and reattach the serpentine belt, i should be fine sounds like.

thanks for your help!!!

You will need to replace the fan as one of the blades is missing. And as long as none of the bolt holes are stripped you can just reattach the fan clutch. shawn

If the fan lost a blade first, the resulting vibration could have caused anything to fall off.

If not, we'll chalk this episode up in the "con" column on whether you should replace a working water pump "while you're in there" for another job (i.e., T-belt).

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!!
