Hello from a newby! I am trying to replace the water pump on a 03 G35 and cannot see how to loosen the timing chain. I have loosened the tensioner across from the pump but not enough slack to get the pump by it, can anyone offer me their knowledge on this?

 

You have to remove the tensioner completely and the tensioner guide and then remove the chain. If you do not have the factory manual or expertise to reset the timing you need to have the car towed to the dealer.

 

Abig plus 1 as i wont even allow my techs to replace a VQ engines water pump.
