I found getting the bottom water pump bolt and removing the 3 bolts from the water pump pulley while on the car to be much simpler by going in behind the front wheel. 2 Clips to release enough fender skirt to make the job simple.

thank you bro. I worked on my car with your guidance and able to achieve it.i was scared at first but its actually not that bad I changed my water pump alternator as well and replaced my old serpentine belt the only area I struggle for a bit was the pulley it was a challenge to put the 3 10mm screws back in considering the little working space

Such a great help. The water pump pulley was a struggle to get on the new pump. Thank you for the video

Great video! I love the breakdown of all the items needed up front. Kudos to you!

wow!!! I fully understood very clear explanation thank you you covered everything I need.

Awesome vid bro keep posting for this generation of accords

Best demonstration video I've seen, well done sir. Thank you.

Excellent video, well explain to the point everyone can understand. Great job sir.

This guy's engine area is clean. Easy to work on without getting your hand so very dirty.

It's called a 'Petcock' drain plug on radiator

Very detailed and clear. Thanks for the video.

Thank You! Very well done!

Really well explained appreciate your time explaining it and tips, how long would you say it took you to complete the whole job.

Nice! Next time cud U be a bit more specific about wrench sizes? I like to preview the video and take notes as I watch before starting my work.

Great video explained perfect 👌

I'm attempting this job on 2012 4 cylinder accord and mine does not have the 3 pulley bolts that you undo to remove the pulley. Has anyone come across this? How do I get the pulley off of the water pump?

Please add what type of engine this is. It is NOT the 3.5L V6 engine. I just found out the hard way.

Does anybody know why my car only works when its cold after about 30mins of run time it doesn’t want to start .. my hand does goes all the way to H it just stays in the middle

Well laid out video!

READ THIS: - loosen the lower alternator bolt and remove the top bolt. Then swing the alternator forward. This will give you room to reach the water pump bolts. - The serpentine belt tool is a necessity on this job. - Be extremely careful removing the three 10mm bolts that hold the water pump pulley in place. I rounded off two of mine. It is impossible to see the hole the Allen key fits in. The hole exists at about 12:30 (clock position). - I found it extremely difficult to remove the water pump. I had to use a combination of small extensions and drive adapters (1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 inch) to act as super short extensions, to get the perfect length to fit on the water pump bolts. These bolts were on very tight. - I advise putting the car up on ramps. That way you won't have to bend over so much, and you will be able to get under the car to install/remove the serpentine belt on/off the crankshaft pulley. - A fender cover or a big beach towel, is a good idea to prevent scratching the paint. - Rushing this job will result in stripped, "rounded off" or cross-threaded fasteners. - In my opinion, this job is not for the faint of heart.

at least the pump is not inside the timing belt chamber and require so much more work. surprise pump failed so soon

Good video. Am I the only one who had to remove the top bolt and loosen the lower bolt to roll the alternator out of the way to get the pulley out? I just could not get it to clear the WP and frame.

Have you had to replace the engine mount for this. I’m actually trying to replace mine now

How many miles to change the water pump?

What engine is this? The configuration is completely different on a 2008 LX Civic.

You didn't show the removal of the bottom screw. Because you have to get it from the bottom right side. You didn't the hard way.

Did anyone bought a duralast water pump and struggled to find the pulley?

good video but did u just torque the water pump bolts to 8 ft lbs when it's supposed to be 102 ft lbs?

Does anyone know if the timing belt needs service after this?

Have you change the timing belt on one of these engines?

Informative

How was you able to get the pull off with no problem ? And I broke the bottom 🔩 because I went to tight and I put the old gasket like a dick .. when I know better. Got new gasket and just need to get the bolt out ? What can I do ?

cool........thxxxxx!!!!!! save me some $$$$$$$

I have a Ford Explorer , i wish I would have known ahead of time this is not the same at my v6 motor. Took me a lot replays to realize this is is the 4 cylinder Good video otherwise.
