Water Pump Repair Procedures

Removal and Installation

1. 1
   Loosen the drain plug, then drain the engine coolant. Remove the radiator cap to drain the coolant faster.
2. 2
   Remove the water pump drive belt (A).

   

   1. Install the SST (09252-3D100) between the crankshaft pulley and the drive belt.
   2. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise. Then remove the drive belt.

   

   When installing the water pump drive belt

   1. Place SST (09252-03200) between the crankshaft pulley and the drive belt.
   2. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise. Then install the drive belt.

   

3. 3
   Remove the water pump pulley (A) and the dust cover (B).

   Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8 N·m

   

4. 4
   Remove the water pump (A) with gasket.

   Tightening torque: 18.6 ~ 24 N·m

   

5. 5
   Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust System)
6. 6
   Remove the water pump cover (B) with the gasket and the inlet pipe (A).

   Tightening torque: 18.6 ~ 24 N·m

   

7. 7
   Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal, using a new water pump gasket.
8. 8
   Fill the engine coolant.
9. 9
   Start the engine and check for leaks.
10. 10
    Recheck the coolant level.

Inspection

1. 1
   Inspect each component for cracks, damage, or wear, and replace the water pump assembly if necessary.
2. 2
   Inspect the bearing for damage, abnormal noise, and rough rotation, and replace the water pump assembly if necessary.
3. 3
   Check for coolant leakage. If coolant leaks from the hole, the seal is damaged. Replace the water pump assembly.

   A small amount of "weeping" from the weep hole is normal.
