Hello, I got a new water pump. (DWP-2408 Duralast.) After getting the old one out I dropped all the bolts and have no idea where they go, and which size fits each one.

Hi,

It sounds like you have the same kind of luck as I do. LOL As far as the bolts are concerned, there should be 4 of them that are shorter than the others. The shorter ones will go through the pump and directly to the timing cover.

If you look at the pic below, the 4 bolts indicated by the number 2 should be the shorter ones.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

Yep, you are going to get these from the dealer, no other place has the information like this, and they don't give it to the aftermarket. Here is how to install the water pump though. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Do you happen to have a parts guy who can identify this radiator drain plug?

Hi,

That doesn't look like the one from the vehicle listed. Is it from a different vehicle?
