Water pump/Engine mount
Posted by Joseph Earl On 2012/3/25 14:25:38
As I dive deeper into my project (see my blog)...https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&type=&topic_id=8950&forum=10
...I occasionally run into minor issues. I am attempting to pull the water pump, and I removed the radiator and grille to facilitate removal and cleaning of the water distribution tube after removing the pump.
My issue is this: it looks like the two lower water pump bolts are partially obscured by the motor mount bracket. I'm thinking that a worn out motor mount may be allowing the engine to sag, thereby blocking access to the bolts.
Here is my question: I would try to raise the engine slightly, but where would you position a floor jack to lift it? The only place that seems likely to position a jack under would be aft of the crossmember, around the middle of the pan. Do I need to use an engine hoist? Any ideas?
Thanks!
