Thanks for the help. I just do not understand how the belt can get off the water pump. The pump is in front of the pulley and belt. Maybe there is a bit of room between the pump and the block. I don't know. I need to mess with it more I guess.
The serpentine belt and the water pump belts are on opposite sides of the motor. In the link you posted, take a look at the water pump pic. It has the drive pulley and the tesioner pulley with the water pump in the front. LOL, this is wild. I have never seen one so wierd before.
Thanks for the information. Even looking at those pics it looks as though one must remove the water pump to replace the belt...that just doesn't make sense.
I have a '96 STS. Anyway, I replaced the serpentine belt and went to replace the water pump belt and I am baffled. Is there a trick to removing the belt? It looks as though the water pump is in the way.
