I need assistance with taking my water pump out

Here are the directions for replacing the water pump. The attached pic correlates with the directions. Also, please let me know the 8th digit of the VIN number so I can confirm these are correct. Check out the diagrams (Below).

PROCEDURES
Removal
1. Drain engine cooling system.
2. Release drive belt tensioner and remove drive belt.
3. Remove radiator and water heater hose from the water pump connections.
4. Remove A/C compressor to water pump brace.
5. Remove four bolts retaining water pump to engine and remove water pump.

Installation
1. Place water pump onto engine and carefully install into position until seated.

2. Install four retaining bolts. Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. lbs.)
3. Install radiator and heater water hose to the water pump. Position clamps securely.

4. Install A/C compressor to water pump bracket. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. lbs.)
5. Install drive belt.

6. CAUTION: Use extreme care to keep coolant mixture off of the drive belt and pulleys. If needed, remove drive belt and rinse with clear water. Clean pulleys and install drive belt. Belt squeal and early belt fatigue will occur otherwise.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find.

My 8th digit is a “s” and by any chance do you know in depth what I need to take off to get to my water pump and what tools I’ll be needing?

Hi,

Based on the vin code (S), I have the correct information listed above. If you read through the directions above, it indicates what needs removed. The serpentine belt, heater hose, radiator hose. It really is straight forward.

If, however, you have questions when you do it, please feel free to ask. Also, let me know how it turns out for you.

Take care,
Joe
