ya the second diagram looks right. (89 of course, haha) the part i lost was the fan pulley. wtf? pretty big part to disappear. o well, went and grabbed another one from the junkyard (but if i find mine in 30 days they take returns, woo) so i put the new water pump on the first time and tested it just by filling the overflow coolant tank. leaked around the gasket. i redo it, this time actually used gasket sealant. and then when I'm tightening the bottom bolt i break off the bolt :-) this is going great...

water pump replacement going pretty comedically bad so far i started the truck to move it to the shade with the fan removed, heard a clunk and now and i think i lost a piece... is there some kind of pulley that runs that fan that is behind the fan itself on the same bolts? anybody got a pic/diagram of it? either i lost a part or I'm real confused about where the belt is supposed to go on the fan, because theres no good place to put a belt on for the fan anymore. still trying to get the damn bolts of the water pump too :-(

Noticed my 99 MJ (EDIT: 89 MJ) was dripping coolant onto the driveway... After I add more coolant to the reservoir to start a steady drip again, the farthest I can see is that it is dripping onto the top of the serpentine belt as it wraps around the lowest pulley. Am I correct that the thing above the lowest pulley is the water pump? To get a better view, is the next step pulling the radiator fans?

Ah, I didn't realize that when people say the WJ had "soft" lines they meant the metal part was bendable by hand. I thought they were talking about the little flexible hose portion. Well that was easy (but maybe not the prettiest, ha)

I'm trying to swap in an '02 WJ master cylinder and brake booster from the junkyard into a 99 MJ. For people who just re-used the WJ's lines that connect the MC to the proportioning valve, did you leave the original fitting in the MC and keep the little flexible hose part and just cut the PV end to put on a double flare/MJ fitting, or did you cut off the flexible hose part and swap ends so that you only have hard line (assuming its the same fitting on both sides of the line)? Or is it easier to get some new line that already has bubble flares and use that instead?
