Water pump pulley fell off...
 

Well almost did... all but one bolt is gone...
Ok guys/gals this is my problem...
Broke belt a few days ago when it snowed here in MD. I got a new belt and was in the middle of putting it in when I noticed the entire water pump pulley was loose and missing every bolt but 1. My question for y'all is (are)...
1. How many bolts are actually supposed to be on there?
2. what size/thread pattern are they?

I am hesitant about taking the last bolt out as I am not entirely sure it will go back in straight again. I have been looking for a new pulley kit online, but the ONLY one I have found so far is a used pulley for $1,000 (yes, one thousand) on eBay.

Thanks for any help!:c:

Theres only two bolts in the water pump. They was about 1 1/2-2 in long I don't remember what size they are or what thread is used. I replaced mine in Nov. 2011. the water pump and seal was $60 but they offer two different models one is like OEM the other has a guide so when the pump goes out it don't eat into the block like the OEM does

ya just get a new pump there super easy to do no silicon or nothing old one out new one in tighten new bolts

So are you talking about the real water pump or the fan hub where some think the water pump is?

the thing that the belt goes on to rotate the fan and water pump. It has at least 3 bolt holes in that I can see that worked themselves loose and are now gone. I haven't ever replaced the water pump on this yet, but as my repair manual says, there is the fan, clutch, bolt, pulley wheel, water pump. BUT it doesnt say anything but "remove the bolts holding the pulley on the water pump." Not how many or what size they are.

My water pump pulley is pressed on. This is what it looked like after it failed:

That's not the water pump, that's just a dummy hub the fan spins on. There's 6 bolts that hold the hub to the bracket.

stupid repair manual!
