@@jillybean1108 that's great! Thanks. Are we talking Honda vehicles or small engines?

[@jillybean1108]

Blake's Garage Primarily Honda automobiles. Of course working on small engines I’ve been doing that since I was nine years old so just about anything I guess!

Blake's Garage I was platinum level with Honda when I left master technician

Your way is much easier as I notice in my car I can from the bottom instead of taking the engine mount and fuse box!!

[@charmander5976]

Replacing water pump and alternator any tips on getting in alternator in easier then it came out.

[@eltigere8585]

If you had to do another water pump on an Acadia is is it easier through the bottom or through the top of the vehicle just removing the fuse Box and the motor mount?

[@meangene6766]

Just did mine, 2008 Acadia, needed to do tensioner/idler pulley, water pump was never done and for $60 bucks pump and dexcool, I went that extra mile. Did everything from top side, didn't pull tire or fender liner. Idler pulley goes through lower alternator bracket, have to loosen alternator and tip sideways 2 remove idler bolt(won't clear fender well if u dont). Yes, kinda sucks with just hand tools, BUT,,can all be done topside.

[@droptop9262]

How did you get the top right bolt off on water pump

[@roybristow9233]

Have you done a thermostat replacement on the Acadia also? I’m doing Water pump & Thermostat, upper & lower hose replacement today

[@BlakesGarage1]

I'm sorry I dont think I have. Hopefully it's no big deal for you though

[@garyjones4039]

I’m not sure how to say I hear my fan motor a lot and I just got my water pump about six months ago and noticed has been going up is this bad

[@namerican8510]

Good information. But I must say, it is so irritating to see mechanics put the lug cap face down and use it as a tray. Americas Tire company did that with mine and scratched 2 of them up. The guy that did it replaced them.

[@phonedude58]

how long did it take from start to finish?

[@BlakesGarage1]

I'm sorry I dont remember exactly. 2-3 hours I think

[@nicholasf.1893]

I jacked up on floor and the pulley is kicking my ass trying to get back on! I already lost 1 bolt

[@garyjones4039]

Okay this is the problem When it sits in idols the temperature goes up I change the thermostat and water pump 1-21-21 of this year

[@everythingsports45]

Maybe it's because mine is a 2012 but there's no way possible to pull it through the bottom I should have just went through the top this video was a waste of my time absolute BS on the 2012 you cannot pull it out that way

[@BlakesGarage1]

Sorry you chose to waste your time on my free video versus using common sense for your specific application lol.
