Water pump couldn't handle the temps over the week-end and decided to dump all the water not too far from home, fortunately. Decided to change the water pump myself. Got stuck very early in the process. :confused: ..how do you loosen off the tension on the belt?? (I already posted this with the Cherokee section not realising you have a tech talk section...my apologies) By the way it's a 95 XJ 4.0L. Thanks [img]graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
From memory the XJ belt is tensioned by a spring loaded pulley.
It's on the drivers side. Basically you put your dirty big spanner on the pulley bolt, but instead of loosening it you tighten it - this should move the pulley and mount and allow you to remove the belt.....
Well that's my vague memory...I let someone that ACTUALLY ones an XJ answer [img]graemlins/zombie.gif[/img]
