How do I change a water pump on a 2000 Honda Passport 3.2L V6 and what tools are required?

I could really use some detailed instructions as well as some diagrams if possible. If I need to change the timing belt I will need instructions on how to do that exactly with a diagram so I don't trash my engine.

I searched the internet before coming here to ask the question. No dice.

I would suggest searching YouTube on your specific vehicle for the help you are seeking.

When you used google to find it, the isuzu rodeo popped up. Guess what? It's the same thing. Before you start, buy one of these

Buy a service manual - the fact that you are compelled to ask here and about the tools (and not a honda forum) says you are really in over your head - might be worth the grand it costs to have someone do it for you. HOWEVER not saying it is impossible if you are methodical and have some mechanical skills - helps to have a friend for guidance as you need it…

Do a search on youtube if you really think taking a chance playing mechanic and ruining your motor is a good idea.
The timing belt job on that motor isn't for amateurs.
You'll either be one tooth off on the back cam gear or you'll end up with bent valves!

There's no shame in admitting you don't know how to do it. That's a complicated repair, it involves taking the engine apart. I paid someone to change my water pump.

  • How can I stop water from flowing back into my Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet when the heavy duty hose attached gets blocked? I have a 1000l take of water attached to a Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet, alongside a heavy duty hose I use to water window boxes around London. When I park up the van and have to cross the road to water certain jobs, the pipe is occasionally temporarily blocked when a car runs over the hose pipe. This sends water back to the pump, and eventually breaks it. What can I do to stop the water/ pressure breaking the pump?
  • Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
  • Honda Jazz won't take water in the water fill cap? I recently purchased a Honda jazz 2005 mode from a garage, top condition. I'm going on a long journey tomorrow and routinely like I would with any car I checked the water and oil levels. (cold engine). Water level was halfway between min and max so I attempted to top it up with coolant mix, however, as in poured the h20/coolant mixture into the water tank it just came straight back up as though the tank was full, although I can see it's only half full. Any ideas?
