Water Pump Replacement

Remove the drive belt. Remove the drive belt tensioner. Drain the engine coolant. Remove the seven bolts securing the water pump, then remove the water pump (A) from under side. Inspect and clean the O-ring groove and mating surface with the water passage. Install the water pump with new O-ring (B) in the reverse order of removal. Clean up any spilled engine coolant. Install the drive belt tensioner. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open. |
