Drain coolant until below water pump level. loosen water pump pulley bolts.then remove drive belt by rotating belt tensioner.remove drive belt from the right of idler pulley.carefully release the drive belt tensioner spring tension.then remove water pump pulley bolts and pulley.remove water pump bolts and water pump pay attention to the position old water pump when removing water pump so you can line up new water pump holes to the engine. be sure clean engine water pump mounting surface use gasket remover dont scratch engine surface when cleaning removing old gasket material. take new water pump gasket get it mounting holes line up with new water pump mounting holes.when done getting engine water pump surface clean.water pump gasket paper you need to put thin layer of sealer on both sides of water pump gasket use RTV SILICONE.LET SET UP 10 MINUTES. PUT GASKET ON WATER PUMP BUT FIRST MAKE SURE LINE UP GASKET HOLES WITH WATER PUMP HOLES BEFORE PUTTING ON THE GASKET SEALER.when gasket sealer set up 10 minutes then install new water pump with gasket to the engine torque to 89 inch lbs.or 10 NM that is about 7 ft lbs torque.you should be able turn water pump by hand if you cant turn water pump by hand got too tight damage water pump shaft bearing.when all done wait for THREE HOURS. before adding coolant i let RTV CURE SOME. torque water pump pulley bolts 18 ft lbs.
