Replacing water pump, 4th gen Maxima (1/3)

How to remove the water pump in a 4th gen Maxima. Ran out of tape before I could get to installation, but it's pretty much the opposite of removal.

In the near future I should be uploading the belt tensioner bracket and right motor mount videos.

Between the shitty mic on my camcorder, the way I talk, and constantly moving around while filming, it may be difficult to understand what I'm saying. If I wasn't so damn lazy, I might consider making captions...if.

@Bear3015 No, I don't think I ever got around to shooting/editing/uploading the motor mount video. What is keeping you from taking it off, the through bolt? If so, are you holding the nut on the backside with a wrench?

That's where most go wrong with it.

Did you even upload the right motor mount vid? I cant get the mount off.

@4inches4u My car's at 330k, but it was an aftermarket pump that I removed, who knows when it had originally been done. My other Maxima needed a water pump somewhere around 70k. It had an OE pump in it, but that's not to say it hadn't been changed before.
