Note: See Warnings given in Chapter 1 of this Section before proceeding to work.
Removing
1. Drain the cooling system first (see section 1). If the antifreeze cannot be replaced, collect the drained fluid in a clean container.
2. To improve access, remove the air filter assembly as described in Section 4.
3. Loosen the alternator mounting bolts and remove the drive belt.
4. Loosen the clamps and separate the hose from the water pump.
5. Apply the handbrake, then jack up the front of the vehicle and place it on axle stands.
6. The water pump is mounted on the right engine mount and requires the weight of the engine to be supported in order to remove it. This can be done with a jack placed under the engine with a piece of board between them. Remember that this is more to support the engine from below than to raise it. Alternatively, attach mounting lugs to a lifting bracket on the cylinder head and use a winch or support beam to take the load off the engine mounts (see photo).
7. Working under the vehicle, remove the nut securing the engine/transmission coupler bar to the subframe bracket. Remove the bolt securing the rod to the motor support bracket and remove the rod (down).
8. Loosen the right hanger through bolt and remove the nut. To obtain the clearance required to remove the through bolt, use a hammer and a suitable punch to knock out the plug from the right side member. After that, the through bolt can be removed from under the wing through the opened hole.
9. Loosen the three bolts securing the right suspension bracket to the body and remove the bracket from the working position (see photo). If this requires lowering the engine slightly, be careful not to overload or damage the exhaust system mounts and other related components. Detach all components that are likely to be damaged when moving the engine down.
10. Turn off and remove four fixing nuts of the water pump. Lower the engine enough to allow the water pump to be removed from the mounting studs and removed from under the vehicle (see photo).
11. Clean the contact surfaces of the water pump and engine being careful not to damage them. Note that the gasket must be replaced. If the connecting hoses are damaged, replace them together with the clamps.
Installation
12. Install in reverse order. Use a new gasket and lubricate the mating surfaces with a suitable sealant (see photo).
13. Tighten the fasteners with the tightening torque specified specifications. Fill the cooling system with the specified Specifications amount of antifreeze and check the joint with the water pump for leaks. Separate and remove the winch or frame.
14. Install the drive belt and adjust its tension as described in Section 1.
15. Install the air filter (see Section 4).
