I have a small water leak and am pretty sure it's coming from the water pump. Is there any way I can replace it without having to completely removing the cambelt? Car is a version 3 wrx type ra
Cheers Rich

 

Changing the pump will involve removing the belt so would probably be best to change it. Check tensioner and pulleys while its off and change if required

 

Ok thanks. I was kinda hoping there might be a way to remove the pump without totally removing the belt and risking throwing the timing out. I'm pretty confidant with a spanner but don't know I'm confident enough to do the whole timing belt and risking damage
Things are a bit tight so was hoping to cut down on cost+the previous owner said belts were done fairly recently.
I guess I will have to bite the bullet and pay someone to do the cam belt or grow some ***** and do it myself
