How to replace a water pump

Hi there,

In removing the water pump, these tips would help you carry out the task:
  • Disconnect the car's negative battery cable.
  • Drain the engine coolant by opening the drain fitting at the bottom of the radiator with pliers and letting the coolant drain into a large container. Move the container to the drain plugs at the engine block and drain the rest of the coolant from there.
  • Remove the drive belts by loosening their tensioner lock nuts and adjuster bolts with a wrench and slipping the belts off the pulleys.
  • Remove the drive belt idler pulley bracket and the right side engine mount with its brackets--support the engine from above with a hoist or engine support fixture, remove the upper mount bracket and through-bolt with the wrench, raise the engine higher and remove the lower bracket and mount.
  • Remove the timing chain tensioner cover and the water pump cover from the timing chain cover.
  • Press the timing chain's piston inward. Insert an appropriate size pin into the tensioner hole to lock it in place. Rotate the crankshaft 20 degrees counterclockwise with a breaker bar and socket at the pulley to loosen the water pump sprocket chain.
  • Remove the pump's two mounting bolts with a wrench. insert two M8 bolts that are three to four inches long into the bolt holes and tighten them evenly until they force the pump out of the engine.
  • Clean off any corrosion and sealant using a rag with acetone or lacquer thinner. Clean and remove all traces of gasket material from the engine surface.
For the installation:
  • Install new O-rings onto the replacement pump and apply a light coat of grease to the rings.
  • Attach the pump to the engine and tighten the bolts by hand first, using a small amount of RTV sealant on the bolt threads. Tighten the bolts in quarter-turn increments to between 61 and 86 foot-pounds.
  • Rotate the crankshaft 20 degrees clockwise with the breaker bar and socket to tighten the timing chain around the water pump sprocket.
  • Remove the pin from the timing chain tensioner. Clean off the water pump cover and tensioner cover, apply RTV sealant ot them and install them back on the timing chain cover.
  • Reinstall the right side engine mount with its bolts and brackets and then lower the engine off the hoist. Reinstall the drive belt idler pulley bracket.
  • Reinstall the drive belts--check the owner's manual for the routing path--and tighten them with the wrench on the bolts/nuts.
  • Refill the engine coolant at the radiator filler neck, using a fresh mixture of water and antifreeze if the old coolant is contaminated.
  • Reconnect the battery cable.

Water Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old. 1987-95 Vehicles EXCEPT 1995 VIN 1 ENGINE
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Drain cooling system into a suitable container.
  3. Remove the serpentine drive belt, as outlined in Section 1 of this manual. NOTE: On some engines, removing the alternator provides better clearance for removing the water pump. For alternator removal and installation procedures, please refer to Section 2 of this manual. Fig. 1: After removing the alternator, remove the brace 89633p01.jpg

  4. Unfasten the water pump pulley bolts, (long bolt removed through access hole provided in the body side rail), then remove the pulley. Fig. 2: Pull the water pump pulley from the pump 89633p03.jpg

  5. Disconnect the radiator and heater hoses from water pump. Fig. 3: Use a screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp screws, then disconnect the hoses from the water pump 89633p02.jpg

  6. For 1992-95 vehicles, remove the torque axis mount, as follows:
    1. Use a suitable engine support fixture and lifting bracket to raise the engine slightly to take the weight off of the engine mounts.
    2. Remove the through-bolt from the torque axis (front) engine mount.
    3. Lift the engine with the support fixture until the power steering reservoir touches the strut tower cross brace.
    4. Loosen the bottom two bolts on the torque axis (front) engine mount.
    5. Remove the A/C line clip and top two bolts on the torque axis engine mount, then remove the mount.
    6. Remove the 2 bolts and nut attaching the engine torque axis mount bracket assembly to the front of the engine. NOTE: On some engines, when you remove the 13mm bolts, coolant will flow from the bolt holes, so make sure to position a drain pan under the pump before unfastening the bolts.
  7. Remove the water pump attaching bolts, then remove the water pump from the vehicle. Remove and discard the gasket. Thoroughly clean the gasket mating surfaces. Fig. 4: Unfasten the water pump mounting bolts (see arrows for locations of top bolts) . . . 89633p04.jpg
    Fig. 5: . . . then remove the water pump from the engine 89633p05.jpg
    Fig. 6: Use a gasket scraper to carefully clean the water pump's mating surface 89633p06.jpg
    Fig. 7: You can also use Scotchbrite® or equivalent non-abrasive scouring pad to clean the water pump gasket mating surface 89633p07.jpg
    Fig. 8: When using a scraper to clean the gasket mating surfaces, be careful not to gouge the engine and cause leaks 89633p10.jpg
    Fig. 9: Exploded view of the water pump mounting - 1994 vehicle shown, others similar 89633g37.gif
