How long does it take to change the waterpump on a 86 Toyota truck 4x4 2.4 ?

 

hard to say for sure, but i did mine earlier this year start to finish in under 2 hours and i wasnt rushing it.

 

Depends on your degree of skill.I know of some who it took a long weekend to get it done. others a hour.

If the bolts are rusted who knows.

one hint break the bolt on the power steering pump loose before you loosen the belt.

Then what else do you also plan to do ??

Coolant flush? New belts and hoses??

 

Be sure to use locktite on the water pump fan to pulley studs and bolts too mine worked their way loose after about 500 miles and they were tight when installed.it took me about an hour to do mine but that was with a heated garage and air tools.

 

Thanks for the replies..turns out the noise is a collapsed PCV hose.

 

It's always something stupid lol. A collapsed pcv hose does make an awful racket.i recently had a bearing go bad in my water pump start knocking like a rod knock. Talk about a sound that makes you sick to your stomach.
