Water pump replacement instructions

Hello,

I have included in the diagrams down below the first part of the directions for the removal and installation of your vehicle's water pump. The directions are quite extensive, so I am sending along the first 50 diagrams below. I will sent the remainder in the next reply that I send to you.

Thanks,

Hello again,

I would recommend replacing the gasket, and then doing a flush and fill. As always, make sure you use the proper antifreeze in the cooling system to keep electrosis from happening. I have included in the diagrams down below the specs for your vehicle's cooling system.

Thanks,

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Does the noise sound like it could be the power steering pump? Did you bleed the new pump? Take a look through these directions for purging the power steering pump. I would suggest trying this. Most likely this is where the noise is coming from. I will also tell you that from experience, aftermarket or re-manufactured pumps commonly make noise.

NOTICE: If the air is not purged from the power steering system correctly, premature power steering pump failure may result. The condition may occur on pre-delivery vehicles with evidence of aerated fluid or on vehicles that have had steering component repairs.

1. NOTE: A whine heard from the power steering pump can be caused by air in the system. The power steering purge procedure must be carried out prior to any component repair for which power steering noise complaints are accompanied by evidence of aerated fluid.

Remove the power steering reservoir cap. Check the fluid.

2. Raise the front wheels off the floor. Refer to the appropriate information for the procedure.

3. Tightly insert the Power Steering Evacuation Cap into the reservoir and connect the Vacuum Pump Kit.

4. Start the engine.

5. Using the Vacuum Pump Kit, apply vacuum and maintain the maximum vacuum of 68-85 kPa (20-25 in-Hg).
- If the Vacuum Pump Kit does not maintain vacuum, check the power steering system for leaks before proceeding. For additional information, refer to Power Steering Fluid Leak Test. See: Steering > Component Tests and General Diagnostics > Component Tests

6. If equipped with Hydro-Boost(R), apply the brake pedal 4 times.

7. NOTICE: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for an extended amount of time. Damage to the power steering pump may occur.

Cycle the steering wheel fully from stop-to-stop 10 times.

8. Stop the engine.

9. Release the vacuum and remove the Vacuum Pump Kit and the Power Steering Evacuation Cap.

10. NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir.

Fill the reservoir as needed with the specified fluid.

11. Start the engine.

12. Install the Power Steering Evacuation Cap and the Vacuum Pump Kit. Apply and maintain the maximum vacuum of 68-85 kPa (20-25 in-Hg).

13. NOTICE: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for an extended amount of time. Damage to the power steering pump may occur.

Cycle the steering wheel fully from stop-to-stop 10 times.

14. Stop the engine, release the vacuum and remove the Vacuum Pump Kit and the Power Steering Evacuation Cap.

15. NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir.

Fill the reservoir as needed with the specified fluid and install the reservoir cap.

16. Visually inspect the power steering system for leaks.

Like even if you try to turn it by hand? It's locked up? If that's the case, either it's installed incorrectly or it's the wrong water pump. It sounds like the impeller is against something. What about a mounting bolt for the water pump? One of them is not hitting the pulley is it? Does the pulley bolt on or did it come with the new water pump? If it bolts on, make sure you used the right bolts to put it back on the new pump. I've done that before. I bolted a pulley on a water pump with a bolt that was too long and it dug into the water pump housing. That's probably what happened. Try taking the pulley bolts out, one at a time and see if the pump will turn. Get back with me and let me know what you find.

Good afternoon,

Your looking at about a 2-3 hour job dependent on skill, if your good with mechanical thigns you should have no problem at all. Its a pretty straightforward job.

Chances are you left something disconnected. Double check your work. The pump replacement itself will not cause a light to come on. If you can't find a problem, have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes that will point you in the right direction of the problem.

The belt is really the only thing to replace. The other components you will simply remove and then replace them. The only other thing I would suggest is to replace the thermostat and flush the cooling system at this time.

WATER PUMP
