Freelander 2.5 v6 water pump replacement
Hi there my name is mark & i'm new to this forum & need some advice on the replacement of Freelander KV6 2.5 l vehicle water pump which has been leaking.
I spent a good 4-6 hours removing all the surrounding equipment on the engine & have finally got access & freed up the large aluminium cover plate that the water pump sits behind. However i am unable to fully remove the large aluminium cover as it is impeded by what seems to be the crank pulley & a plastic shroud around the crank pulley
It would seem that removal of the crank pulley might solve this dilemma, however when i put a socket & brace on the crank pulley bolt all i end up doing is turning the engine over.
What is the best way to lock up the engine so i can remove the crank pulley & the pesky aluminium shroud thingy...
Vehicle is automatic transmission.
Thanks mark
