Removal and InstallationABS006JS
WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from thermostat housing.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-168, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove engine front undercover with power tool.
3. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-36, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
4. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-172, "
AIR
CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to drive belts.
6. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses.

CAUTION:

When removing water pump, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belt.

Water pump can not be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on radiator and both side of cylinder block. Refer to CO-36, "Chang-
ing Engine Coolant" and EM-241, "DISASSEMBLY" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
2. Remove following parts:

Engine front undercover

Air duct (inlet); Refer to EM-172, "AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .

Alternator, water pump and A/C compressor belt; Refer to EM-169, "DRIVE BELTS" .
3. Remove fan coupling with cooling fan, and then water pump pulley.
4. Remove water pump.

Engine coolant will leak from the cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready under vehicle.
CAUTION:

Handle the water pump vane so that it does not contact any other parts.

Do not disassemble water pump.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check that there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.

Make sure there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it turns
smoothly when rotated by hand.

If anything is found, replace water pump.
