Tightening torque :

7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8~ 7.2lb-ft)

Remove the water pump (A) with the gasket.

Tightening torque :

18.6 ~ 23.5N.m (1.9 ~ 2.4kgf.m, 13.7 ~ 17.4lb-ft)

5.	Remove the exhaust manifold heat protector. (Refer to Intake and exhaust system)

Remove the water pump cover (B) with the gasket and the water inlet pipe (A).

Tightening torque :

18.6 ~ 23.5N.m (1.9 ~ 2.4kgf.m, 13.7 ~ 17.4lb-ft)

7.	Installation is reverse order of removal with a new water pump gasket.

8.	Fill the engine coolant.

9.	Start the engine and check for leaks.

Inspection

1.	Check each part for cracks, damage or wear, and replace the coolant pump assembly if necessary.

2.	Check the bearing for damage, abnormal noise and sluggish rotation, and replace the coolant pump assembly if necessary.

Check for coolant leakage. If coolant leaks from hole, the seal is defective. Replace the coolant pump assembly.

A small amount of "weeping" from the bleed hole is normal.
