1997 Jeep Wrangler Water Pump

Also, a bit of miscellaneous info, a normal belt is called a v-belt because it looks like a v and fits into a v pulley groove. A serpentine is also known as a multi-ribbed belt because it rides in those little grooves on the new style pulleys

Another repair bites the dust.... done in 2 hours, with my brothers help..then 1 hour fiddling with the tensioner b/c the belt was sqeaking (stupid thing) Plus i had to drill a hole in the cowl and use zip ties b/c my dumb ass broke the slot for the power steering reservoir....

I also found another tip...once you have the pump off and you are trying to dry the face of the motor....try jacking the front of the jeep up a bit.... it helped keep more anitfreeze from coming out while I was preparing the surface for the gasket.
