Trying to replace the water pump on my 99 Grand Cherokee laredo with a 4L in line 6. The Haynes repair manual does not have pictures specific to my model, wich is making it very difficult to follow.

yea i have all the hoses off and such but i cant reach 2 or 3 bolts that are behind the pully that is still attached to the pump. The pully doesnt seem to want to come of it doesnt even wiggle so I wasnt sure if it comes off or not. The haynes doesnt say anything about it.

There are no holes in the pully. It looks like its in 2 peices. There were 4 bolts on the front of the pully, which are removed, but it still wont come off.

By far Chiltons is the best manual you'll lay your hand on short of the actual service manual. But if you want an online source goto www.autozone.com
They have all the Chiltons manuals scanned and plenty of usefule info.
BTW to remove the pump:
Drain the coolant (petcock on bottom of rad)
remove the fan shroud
remove the fan
remove the serpintine belt
remove the pully
remove all hoses from the pump
remove the pump
(you might have to loosen the P/S bracket)
Installation is the reverse order with alot of common sense applied.
I hope this helps.

I would gather you are replacing the pump. If so go to store and get rebuilt one. If not replacing, go to store and ask to look at new pump.
I think you will see a small flange on front of pump with four bolt holes in it.
You should be able to see on the back of your pulley the small flange mentioned above. It is probably rusted and may look like part of the pulley. Insert a sharp tool at the point where the flange and pulley meet and carefully work the pulley off by working the tool, with a small hammer, into the connection.
It is not prudent to use a puller as the pulley is probably made of thin material.
It may come off by tapping carefully on the pully itself. Don't hit the outer rim but reach behind as much as possible so as not to bend the rim

Try a Chilton's! Water pumps aren't rocket science! Remove the hoses and row of bolts and the thing comes right off! Scrap the gasket, install another gasket, put the new pump on and reverse steps. Pretty simple!

Chilton books, there should be holes in the pulley that you stick a socket through to get too. Its kind of a pain sometimes, but thats how you do it.

Go to autozone.com or oreillys.com and register.(all free) and look around. They offer step by step instructions on just about anything needing to be replaced. I just did a water pump myself following autozones directions. We novices need the security of step by step. Good luck.
