I just happen to think, what i was forgetting was how i would get the play needed to remove the belt some, talked to the resident genius here, we remembered we used a leverage device that would go into one of the pulleys and then you pull it some, and get the play needed. Thanks for the AUTOZONE info. >> Stay informed about: 1:15 p.m. How to change waterpump in '95 Century 3100 3.1 ?

Oh, you'll have to take the serp belt off, but whether you replace it or not is up to you. A 3.1 water pump is very easy. Loosen the pump pulley bolts "before" you remove the belt, take the belt off, remove the pump pulley, remove the 5 bolts that hold the water pump in place, remove pump, clean gasket surface and reinstall the new pump. It doesn't get much easier then these water pumps. Ian >> Stay informed about: 1:15 p.m. How to change waterpump in '95 Century 3100 3.1 ?

Sorry, I assumed that if you are asking how to remove a water pump, you would understand how a belt tensioner works. My bad.
