Is it easy to change a water pump in a TH mitsubishi Magna 99' executive?

Dead easy if it's a 4 cylinder 'cos the W/P is driven by the rear of the camshaft via a small belt.



It's very hard if it's a V6 and you need to replace both timing belts (Drive and Balance shaft) at the same time as the W/P and the bearings in the belt tensioners should be changed too.Is it easy to change a water pump in a TH mitsubishi Magna 99' executive?Depends...If you know what youre doing, it could take a few hours, not bad. If you dont, it will be a nightmare. Its not easy, as the engine compartment is already cramped, and the water pump isnt exactly in a convenient easy-to-access location. Changing the water pump on any vehicle is no fun...unless money is involved.Is it easy to change a water pump in a TH mitsubishi Magna 99' executive?If you need to ask this question don't even try - you will do more harm than good. Take it to a qualified mechanic.
