W124 Water Pump - Hard Part Over
So I decided to start the Christmas season right with a Mercedes water pump replacement. After three hours, the hard part is over, after removing 30% of the parts under my hood, I have those pesky 4 bolts out and the water pump is free. Well...almost..
I cannot seem to navigate that pump out of the car. I twist and turn, but to no avail. It appears that I need to move the bracket that the tensioner adjustment bolt goes through (blue circle). I think there is a way to swivel that piece back, but it is not totally obvious. Is it one of the bolts towards the bottom of the power steering pump? I circled a number of points on the pic, not sure if any of them need removal. If my car didn't have so much oil residue, maybe I could see what I need to do!
Thanks!
