Removal & Installation
Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system. Remove air cleaner assembly. Remove electric cooling fans and radiator fan shroud (if necessary). Remove alternator belt. Remove coolant hoses if necessary. Remove water pump. Clean gasket mating surfaces.
To install water pump, reverse removal procedure. Apply Hylosil 102 sealant to water pump, and install pump. Fill cooling system, and check for leaks.
