water pump change
I am trying to change the water pump on my 1999 super duty diesel. Behind the fans I have removed the 4 bolts holding the fan assembly drive pully on, now how do I get the fan assembly loose from the water pump?

Here's a link to what you need. It's not the direct application, diesel is not listed. But it gives you a general idea of what you need to look for.

The fan nut should be a 1 7/8 nut. What I did is removed a couple bolts holding the pully on. I took a piece a steel bar stock, about a 1/4 in thick, 1" wide and about 30 " long and drilled a hole in it about 3" from the end. I then used the bolt from the waterpump pulley and screwed the bar stock on the pulley. It ends up working like a spanner wrench,as you rotate the fan nut the bar stock will jam up and hold the pulley and allow the nut to break free. I did not marr anything up doing it this way. I also had to use a dead blow hammer striking the wrench to get it to break free. 1 very important thing, Don't use the Ford torque for the waterpump mounting bolts! You will snap them off. The correct torque is 18 lbs.-ft. Found out the hard way. Hope this helps and good luck.

A little off topic, but you might consider making sure you change out the sheet metal jacket on the pump if you're not already. I think getting the old one to mate & seal with the new pump can be a problem.
At least that's what I've been told.
