Help needed for 3SFE engine - 1999 Rav4
While replacing timing belt/water pump on 1999 Rav4, 3SFE engine, automatic, 4 door, I damaged the philips screw at the right/top of the pump. The old screw is still there and I could not replace the water pump.
I was considering the options:
1. remove the water pump/cover(housing) as a whole since I could not uninstall the pump, once it is out, I can take the damaged screw out. Does anyone know the pump/cover can be removed as a whole piece? The service manual says I have to uninstall the pump first.
2. take out the damaged philips screw using screw extractor. But the space in Rav4 is very tight. Does anyone know if spacial tool is needed in addition to left-hand drill and extractor?
Thanks in advance
