30 Water Pump Removal
My 1930 Model A coupe has a leaky water pump, and I have purchased all the parts needed to rebuild. My question is: do I have to remove the radiator to remove the water pump? Thanks, Tom

Re: 30 Water Pump Removal
no you don't have to completly remove it. You will have to loosen the bottom bolts that hold the rad and unhook the hood rods... Gently pull the rad towards the light bar. I usually cut a piece of cardboard and put it on the rad to protect it when pulling the waterpump out. Hope this helps

Re: 30 Water Pump Removal
Just a quick question, have you tightened the packing nut with a spanner wrench first? I don't know how much you know about your A but some new owners don't know that can be done on original style (non leakless) pumps.
To answer your question, remove the hood and hoses. Take loose the radiator rods from the radiator and just lean it forward.

Re: 30 Water Pump Removal
If you have a two blade fan do this. Loosen the two hood rods at the radiator and pop up. Remove the entire hood if you can or be careful with it still in place. Place a piece of thin plywood or cardboard in front of two blade fan to protect the radiator fins from damage. Drain radiator and remove the rad hoses.. (This is also a good time to replace hoses, add thermostat, etc) . Carefully see if you can tilt your radiator ahead till it is close the headlight bar. (If you have a stone guard on the radiator, you have to remove it.) You should be able to wiggle out the fan / waterpump assembly now. If your radiator doesn't move then you may have to loosen or remove the radiator mounting bolts. If you are running with a four blade fan you might as well plan on removing the radiator. If you have the radiator out it is also a good opportunity to give it a proper degreasing, flushing. Do a search for vinegar on the search bar on FB for lots of talk on this.

Re: 30 Water Pump Removal
One or 2 mounting studs have open threaded holes in the head. Put sealer on those studs, or it will wick water & you'll think the new pump is defective. Ask me HOW I KNOW--NLOL
