NHC 250 water pump tool- needed-

[Jeepsinker]

I picked up a 934A0 for a fella and the water pump was locked up. I've got the new pump, but I was not aware that a tool was required to rotate the pump in order to tighten the belt. Anyone got one they could mail to me, and I'll send it back in short order? I don't want to buy one, probably will never need it again. I don't own anything with this engine in it.

All you need is a long screwdriver wedged in between the ribs of the water pump casting. Leave the ring around the water pump snug but not over tight so the pump can turn. The pump housing is round but the water pump is off center as it is eccentric. pull the screwdriver to snug the pump by turning it and then crank down the ring bolts. Easier with Soldier B to help but not impossible.

Good to know. I'll give that a shot just as soon as I get the right belt... Ordered a water pump belt and TNJ sent me two power steering belts instead...
