"'02 crusader 5.7 gas; shaft-mounted raw water pump with horizontal plumbing; I need to replace the engine belt. Does the pump just pull off the engine shaft after removing the anti-rotation bolt in the bottom? Are there rebuild kits for this pump? Thanks, guys."

"Jeff... the pulley is on the front of the pump, and the pump is sitting on the engine crankshaft. "Unbolting it from the pulley" seems to me will just remove the pulley. ?? (Its really hard to climb in there, so I've only seen all this in a mirror.)"

The pumps I've seen are attached via a flange that bolts to the front pulley. There's a shaft coming out of that flange that runs through the pump body with its bearings and seals. You'd have to remove the flange from the pulley to get it off--shouldn't be too bad a job.

Any reason they did away with the crank driven pump?

The update kit comes with everything you need, including a new belt. It's a pretty simple installation as well, most guys can handle it without a problem."
