Removal and InstallationNBS004R2
CAUTION:

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

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.

After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks using the radi-
ator cap tester (commercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service
tool).
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine room cover (RH and LH). Refer to EM-15, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove air duct (inlet) and air cleaner case assembly. Refer to EM-19, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT"
.
3. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
4. Remove drive belts. Refer to EM-16, "
DRIVE BELTS" .
5. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when the engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
6. Remove water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder
block to drain engine coolant from engine inside.
7. Remove chain tensioner cover and water pump cover from front timing chain case.
1. Timing chain tensioner (primary) 2. Chain tensioner cover 3. Water pump cover
4. Water pump 5. O-rings 6. Water drain plug (front)

b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser
(commercial service tool) to mating surface of chain tensioner
cover and water pump cover.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-47, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .
CAUTION:
Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
c. Tighten mounting bolts.
5. Install water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block.

Apply liquid gasket to the thread of water drain plug (front).
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-47, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
6. Install in the reverse order of removal for remaining parts.

After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to
purge air from the high-pressure chamber of chain tensioner. Engine may produce a rattling
noise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-11, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
