I need to replace the raw water pump on my marinepower 454. Once I shut off water from the thru hull, remove hoses, housing cover and impeller, will I be able to remove the pump without having to mess around with the pulley and the belt?

It is 10K time esier to take off and put back together with the pulley off.

you may be able to do it but it's going to be a pain !! you need to turn the shaft to get the impellor in

Is this a v belt setup? pull the hoses off and then remove the support arm bolt and nut ....then the 2 5/8 bolts to the main bracket and remove the whole pump assembly with the bracket ....m
