Hello , I replaced my water pump on 97 528i. MY question is, how and what size bolts do you adjust to replace drive belts? I tightened the 4 nuts for water pump, also the four studs for new water pump pulley. I also tightened the 32 metric nut for fan. My next step is to remove old water pump belt and remove other shorter belt so I can install new ones. I also need to sung up pulley nuts once I get belts on.

Thanks,
John

John,

Do you have a copy of the Bentley E39 Service Manual? If not, get one.

John, you solve your problem?

the pulleys are on tensioners, you need to insert the star drive into the pulley, and turn to the right, the pulley will loosen

My question is how did you replace the water pump w/o removing the belts first? Either the verb tenses are all incorrect or you are awesome, really.
