Subject:Re: My writeup on removing and replacing the 2.1l Vanagon water pump

Never done the job so I got "lost" at the point quoted below....    ;)
   That said, should I need to do this job hopefully I won't be
reading this roadside!

Would leaving the coolant pump belt on help when cracking the coolant
pump pulley bolts loose?  Or is there a tool that holds the pulley
from turning?   Something like this?   image:
