Preparation is a prime consderation between a difficullt taske and a very difficult task so prepare both a supplies purchase list and a required tools list. Because of the degree of tear down, pump replacement should influde the following additional replacement, all of which affect the service and reliablity received from the pump, conferred by the pump. These all should be part of the pump change except for things newly replaced within about 1/2yr > t < 1 yr:

  • All belts driven by crank dampered pulley sheaves on crank shaft (retaining removed in reserve if suitable)
  • Both radiator hoses (retaining old as backups if suitable)
  • Radiator if over 6 years/60K miles
  • Fan clutch
  • Fan if metal or if other than flawless plastic
  • T'stat and t'stat seal
  • Mounting screws (aka bolts) if second replacement and up.
  • AC hose tie strap (if original damaged)
  • Tools:
  • sockets per screw and driver sizes
  • Solid and ratched drivers as per socket drives
  • New hose clamps where old corroded
  • Rental or loander tool set for clutch and puley sheave removal
  • Torque wrenches,1/4-in-dr and 3/8-in-dr clicker
  • Torque wrench, flex type, to 40 ft lb.
