FORD_MAN 1,026 Posted October 3, 2020 I Think I rotated the pump after unbolting it from memory when I've done on my XE's I know I didn't remove the bracket. might have also pryed the arm on the bracket it foward just a tad as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macman 774 Posted October 5, 2020 When I did mine I saw no way other than removing the A/C compressor bracket. That said, I know there's a couple of variations of the mounting bracket (probably depending on whether it was factory fit, dealer fit or aftermarket? I had to unbolt the compressor from the bracket, and then unbolt the bracket from the block before I could remove the water pump. 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
