ThanksI have to change my water pump on 1998 Dodge Dakota.?you don't have to remove the radiator on that one,but if you do it gives you a lot more room to work in,and on the nut most parts stores sells the wrench that removes the nut and holds the fan at the same time,ask at any advance or auto zone store and they will either rent you one or sell you one for the job,if you plan on doing this much id buy the tool ,it doesn't cost much more to buy it than to rent it ,and its kind of handy to have around,good luck.I have to change my water pump on 1998 Dodge Dakota.?leave the rad in it Yes you have to take the fan off with the nut, its easier to do with a hammer and chisel and leave the belt on until you get the nut broke loose remove the fanshroud and fan at the same time so you dont hit the radiator also take the time to change the bypass hose while the pump is offI have to change my water pump on 1998 Dodge Dakota.?Since you will want to drian the coolant anyway, thherwise it will leak all over, removing the radaitor will give you better acess to the front of the truck. it will also give you the room to work and not damage the radaitorI have to change my water pump on 1998 Dodge Dakota.?The Steps involved are quite extensive.
