Installation Procedure
Tools Required
J 36660-A Torque Angle Meter
- Install a new water pump gasket (1).
- Install the water pump (4).
- Install the water pump bolts (5).
Tighten
Tighten the water pump bolts (5) to 15 N·m (11 lb ft
) plus an additional 80° using the J 36660-A
Torque Angle Meter
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Connect the radiator inlet hose to the water pump.
- Install the water pump pulley (7) and the bolts (6).
Tighten
Tighten the water pump pulley bolts (6) to 13 N·m (115 lb in).
- Install the serpentine drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement
in Engine Mechanical.
- Add the engine coolant. Refer to
Cooling System Draining and Filling
Draining and Filling Cooling System in Engine Cooling.
- Start the engine. After the engine reaches normal operating temperature,
check for coolant leaks.
