My Haynes Manuel says I need to pull the fan and fan shroud to remove the water pump. My question is, it looks to me like there is enough room to pull it without removing the fan and shroud. What say you? Tx.

No need to remove anything but the belt and drain coolant and it removes easily.

One of the easiest pumps to replace! I drain the coolant, loosen belt and take 2 bolts an its out!

Yeap Wild & Free is correct... It might be so for a gasoline engine but not for the Cummins diesel its just 2 bolts...
