Thank you so much my friend. I appreciate you for your kind comment. This is not my normal video though my son works for Mercedes-Benz and he changed the water pump on my Chevy Tahoe and since I am a KZbinr, I recorded it and the video came out really good and gets lots of views. Thank you For stopping by

Omfgawd bro. Dis was fkn awesome 👌. I swear... my ol lady tahoe just started leaking. Pump is still doing its thang. It's just a drip right now. So I'm willing 2 bet it's the seals. Most vids rarely ever show the real world fixes. Thanks a million. I do have the pump on standby just incase an of course a cooler full of beer to stay hydrated an motivated. Much love 4 the vid ❤

I wish I still had that truck that was a few years back that was my favorite track of all time. The water pump is not hard to do on that truck

1 3/8" wrench gets the job done.Nice video.

36 mm

Quick comment for anyone trying to get their fan off. The easiest way to remove one of these is to hit it with the air hammer / chisel bit on the nut as it will immediately loosen it. Just remember it is a counter clockwise thread. You can also finish tightening it in the same manner when reinstalling it.

[@carloshart2424]

I figured 1 5/8

[@jastelf8998]

Great video. Thanks! Saved me a lot of cash!

[@OkcForMe]

How long did it actually take?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

About an hour

[@edfleshman7577]

at the 9:48 mark you sd something about "while we were here working on this we realized..." What did you realize? It was drowned out by background noise.

[@Ch33no]

Seen another Channel use a torc wrench on the pump crews . not necessary?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you. This was my son doing this job

[@eddietorres1869]

Great video thanks for the help.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Glad it helped

[@karibonds6358]

Thanks for the help saved me a lot of money

[@MrJLewis59]

what is the blue stuff you were squirting around those gaskets and the water pump bolts?

[@dixierebellion4886]

He put "loctite" on the bolts...It basically keeps the bolts from coming back loose after install.

[@MyKittyKat1234]

Great video, hopefully my problem is just a gasket issue as well. I am experiencing a leaking at the bottom of my water pump. Water pump seems to working correctly, of course given coolant is at a correct level. Any opinion.

[@hellbent7066]

You skipped the most important part. How did you get the 1 3/8 nut to stay steady while you loosened it? Why woold you do that part off camera?

[@dixierebellion4886]

Leave the belt installed as it will help to hold the water pump pulley while you loosen the 1 3/8 nut. Get a large adjustable wrench and fit it tight around the nut. The handle of the crecent wrench will be sticking up pretty far. Take a good size hammer and rap on the crescent wrench handle (counter-clockwise like in the video) to break the fan clutch loose...It will probably take a few good hits.

[@hellbent7062]

Dixie Rebellion Thanks for the reply but I found out that the pump pulley did not need to be removed because the replacement water pump comes with a new pulley already installed.

[@recessiontwentytwenty3858]

What year did chevy start using electric fans?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Not sure

[@goodboyringo9716]

Front cover doesn't have to be removed but the top fan cover does.

[@BrianDavisAwesome]

That's a good video, I watched it last night and this afternoon changed the water pump in our 03 Tahoe. The video was cool because it got right to the point and it was very informative. Also, it was the seals, but I had the new pump so I put it on anyway. Thanks

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad it helped

[@oralwayne7273]

Drew i wish i had seen this video a year ago instead of replacing my pump i would repair it

[@brianallen0826]

I don't know if I would pull all that shit off and put the old pump back on for $125 savings...

[@92camaro100]

+brianallen0826, Ya i was saying the same thing,im pretty sure that water pump has a lot of miles on it,if you go threw all of that,you might as well put a new pump on it.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

not the water pump after all it was the seals. But we still had to take off the water pump to repair it
