On my 2011 4.0 sohc Ranger, looks like in addition to my thermo housing leaking, looks like water pump may be as well. Searched the forum, but couldn't find any "how-to" threads for the water pump. If I missed one, could you point me to it?
I did find the youtube below. Job looks pretty straight forward. Drain system, catch the fluid. Remove fan clutch, fan, and rad shroud. Remove water pump, clean gasket surface, reverse to install everything back. Replace serpentine belt while I am in there.
Anything else to be aware of? Wondering if access to any of the water pump bolts are blocked by any of the pulleys? Or are any of them difficult to get to? And room enough to get the gasket surface easily cleaned?
