Hi Folks,

Thanks for your recommendations on replacing my water pump. I'm
trying to remove the fan assembly and water pump pulley to get at the
water pump. I have already removed the radiator and fan shroud. I'm
wondering if anyone can provide insight into performing this for a
year 2000 4.0 6cyl engine?

I've been following Stu's write up at:
http://www.stu-offroad.com/engine/ra...radiator-4.htm

and a bit of the Service Manual.

I think my 2000 TJ differs slightly from Stu's engine. First, there
are no nuts here:

only bolts on the fan/water pump pulley.

I removed the four bolts on the fan pulley and the serpentine belt,
but the fan pulley nor the fan assembly doesn't slide off. Do I need
to bang the fan/water pump pulley off?

Any insight appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick
