REMOVAL
WATER PUMP
1. Drain  the  engine  coolant.
System  is under  high pressure when  the  engine  is hot. To  avoid  danger of releasing scalding engine  coolant,
remove the  cap only when  the  engine  is cool.
2. Remove drive  belt(A).
3.Remove the  timing belt.
4. Remove the  water pump(A) and gasket(B).
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL  ASSEMBLY
1.Drain  the  engine  coolant.
2. Remove the  air cleaner assembly.
3. Disconnect  the  radiator  upper  and lower  hose(A, B). 
Page 104 of 1575
4.Disconnect  the  ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor  connector.
5. Remove the  coolant hose  related to the  heater hoses and the  ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) system.
6. Remove wiring protector.
7. Remove water temperature  control  assembly(A)  and the  gaskets(B).
8.Remove the  water pipe(A).
THERMOSTAT
Removal  of the  thermostat would have  an adverse  effect, causing a  lowering of cooling  efficiency. Do not  remove
the  thermostat,  even  if the  engine  tends to overheat.
1. Drain  engine  coolant so its level is below thermostat.
2. Remove the  coolant inlet pitting(A)  and the  thermostat(B).

RADIATOR
1.Drain  the  engine  coolant.
2. Remove the  radiator  grille upper  cover(A).
3.Remove the  radiator  support upper  member assembly(A)  for  convenience sake.
The bottom side bolt(A)  which  can be seen  after  removing the  under  cover should  be loosened for  removal  of
the  radiator  support upper  member assembly.

4.Remove the  radiator  upper  and the  lower  hoses(A).
5.Disconnect  transaxle oil  cooler hoses(A).(Refer to TR  group)
6.Disconnect  the  radiator  fan  connectors(A,B).
