93 subaru loyale 1.8 ohc, with a/c. Haynes repair manual does not address a/c in way of water pump. Looks like I have to remove a/c pulley and a/c compressor to get to pump. Is there a flywheel access hole for removing pulley, and I understand there are some hard to get to bolts (hidden?) on compressor. It was 95 degrees yesterday in portland, so after discovering my dilemma I ran away to fight another day. P.S. I am new to USMB.

welcome aboard.

 

no need to remove a/c to replace water pump. but if you wanted you can unbolt it and swing it out of the way without disconnecting any refrigerant lines.

Hey thanks Gary. I unbolted the compressor and swung it out of the way but still have to unbolt a/c pulley to remove T belt cover so I can get to pump. My new dilemma is how to hold pulley/flywheel while unbolting pulley. T-belt and oil seal & pump replaced 5k ago they are in good shape, unfortunately water pump went out!
