You know on the tensioner there is a slot to fit either a 3/8's or a 1/2" drive breaker bar to move it in the front. Makes it a whole lot easier. Almost all tensioner have it. Just a little square.

[@mr.hanger]

I like seeing dumbasses do it the hard way.

[@freakshow2064]

I was thinking the same thing

[@drpc98014]

a nice intro but his method to remove fan doesn't work, unable to screw in bolts from behind

[@Luke-ei7hx]

Having that same problem. Trying to figure out what I can use to make sure it doesn’t move

[@jonahhahr7756]

This was an absolute b!t(h to deal with when I tried the behind bolt method. This part I do not recommend. I got a bolt in and it did t hold and now it is bent, etc.

[@nickmacaroni]

Didn't work for me. Screw is too short to catch water pump fins. Longer screws just bent.

[@whatchulookinat338]

did this kzbin.info/www/bejne/npatXqetopxleqc and bent the shit of the bolt and have to find another one .... dont do this

[@michaelatkinson1662]

Well dont assume the bolt in the back of the fan will work my bolts will not fit in from the back so that's not always an option

[@chrismorgan6149]

Bolt didn't work. Wouldn't fit

[@GreenPowerFarm]

Well hell...looks easy enough..I'm going to buy the part & tackle it myself & save some $...thanks!

[@blazeaglory]

Haha I said same thing 20 years ago age 24 when some mechanic wanted to charge 600$ for a leaking distributor on a1988 Honda Prelude. Anyways, I thought "hey I'll get a Haynes manual and see why it's leaking. Turns out it was literally 3 bolts and a .25 cent rubber seal. After that I bought an 8 piece Craftsman socket/wrench set and never looked back lol

[@ChevroletTough]

Super helpful. I have a 2000 k3500 and this is the same set up as what you have. Looks doable! Thanks!

[@randellhooper3933]

Awesome video! Thanks for explaining everything so well.

[@williamswaim1215]

hey this looks easy but when trying it I broke all the bolt holes in the fan sprocket out without getting the nut loose. I think I can get the pump off without taking the fan off, I will find out tomorrow.

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

you must have a lot of rust, or your turning them the wrong way. ha joke. yes it is possible to remove both. just not easier. i have another one coming up, i will do it that way and post a link for you. thanks for watching.

[@valforney]

I spent 8 hours to screw in from rear. it would not screw in. bought a 9mm steel bolt a little longer and OMG it worked. thank you for video. got it out and the back side had no flare to accept a10mm.

[@WEM63054]

Good explanation. Easy to follow. Much appreciated. Best of luck out there.

[@randyleiferman9411]

very helpful, used to change pump on 97 k1500/

[@saffin46]

Most belt tensioners have a little square where a 3/8's ratchet will fit in it then just push down. Pretty simple.

[@pinkishdiamondz]

Yeah, I noticed that in another video

[@michaelszczys8316]

You give the gaskets a ‘ silicone paint job ‘. Not so that it needs it to seal but rather to help them come right off if you need to go there again someday

[@TimothyMichaels]

Thanks for the video

[@maniac5123]

I get right about putting the bolt in backwards but damn, bettor man than me. It is way too cockeyed too fit back in backwards. I will always take any advice I'm doing wrong xD

[@shawnsharp8533]

Sir I felt compelled to comment on this work of art. Hey man I'm being serious. There is so much freaking common sense being thrown around I had to make sure I didn't somehow slip into an alternate universe. The type of education that comes from someone navigating the usual missteps and bad habits that just seem to come natural for most of us diy mechanics is basically priceless. Not only do you explain why not to start stripping and destroying the surrounding parts when all of those little things begin to happen, you calmly just pass on the important things only learned through experience. You definitely have acquired a masters in problem solving. Your tone is one of certainty and confidence absent of the standard condescending tone that some qualified mechanics radiate. Like they are trying to remind you of how irresponsible it was to not actually listen in auto shop or to think far enough ahead to work towards that ASC certification that we quietly envy. Wow, I almost sound like I actually studied in those English classes. Haha. Serious though, I learned more from your video than I have from watching all of those DIY combined. Well played indeed!

[@GerardoLopez-oq9om]

Sr. You are a genius. Thanks

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

thanks for watching.

[@jasongallegos8637]

Will a water pump from a v6 Chevy motor fit a 2000 Silverado v8

[@mikeballone27]

[@robertwaltz1307]

Couldn't get my fan off til I seen this video. A big thank you.

[@johnathankeller1948]

Thanks! This helped a ton

[@georgettadeleon4958]

I have a 1999 Chevy Suburban with a code that pops up p0410, I changed the secondary air pump but it still reads the same. What do I do?

[@james1795]

Now that's what I call a filthy engine!

[@genebarnes6108]

Great video,a lot of people tell me I need a special tool to get the serpentine belt off.

[@bryanperalta2844]

No special tools, I used my hands to push on the tensioner and replaced my belt

[@kriskaleta5958]

Dude thx for the tips they helped a lot

[@james1795]

"Dude" Haha!

[@wrinkle07]

Thomas?!?! You're a frickin genius!!! 😁
