I've gotten the belts off and have the new water pump, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to get the timing belt pulleys off so I can get to the water pump. I only have today to figure this out or I lose my job tomorrow.

As far as I know it's never been changed :/ I've only had the car 2 weeks

Would changing the timing belt be more of a precautionary thing? I was under the impression that Subaru's 2.2 engine wasn't known for the timing belt or the heads needing to be changed. Also the car has roughly 140,000 miles on it. Would it be easier to remove the entire radiator to take the timing belt cover off and inspect the water pump?

I recently bought a '95 Subaru Impreza L with the 2.2Litre engine. It's been about a week and I've run into a bit of a problem. I pulled into work a few days ago and as soon as the car came to a full stop, it made a raddling noise, shook, and then stalled. I immediately noticed white smoke (lr steam) billowing from under the hood and the temperature gauge was all the way up to hot. I let the car cool off and checked the radiator and it was bone dry in both the radiator as well as the overflow. I also checked the oil before I let the car cool off and it was fine. (I had gotten an oil change the day after I bough the car) From there I bought coolant thinking it would fix the problem, but that only led to another issue, my radiator was leaking coolant rapidly from the bottom of the radiator. I replaced the radiator hose (lower), the thermostat (and gasket), and the hose leading out of the thermostat. The car stopped leaking from that point but a new leak immediately started when I put water in the radiator to check. This is where I am stumped. The leak is now dripping continuously and rapidly from just above the oil pan. At first, I drained the oil to check for water, but found none. After further research, I believe my problem is the water pump. Am I correct in this assumption, and if so where do I go from here? I am not the most mechanically inclined, as this is only my second car and I am learning as I go. I would greatly appreciate any and all help I can get. Thank you all so much. - Ghost
