What is the proper sequence to changing a water pump on a 95 plymouth voyager?

Ive changed them before on other vehicles, this one looks hard to get to.|||What engine do you have? If it is a 3.0 you are looking at a lot of work, on a 3.3 it is not that hard to get to.





If you are doing a 3.0, change the timing belt at the same time!





This should help you
