REMOVAL
WATER PUMP
1. Drain the engine coolant.
System is under high pressure when the engine is hot. To avoid danger of releasing scalding engine coolant,
remove the cap only when the engine is cool.
2. Remove drive belt(A).
3.Remove the timing belt.
4. Remove the water pump(A) and gasket(B).
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
1.Drain the engine coolant.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
3. Disconnect the radiator upper and lower hose(A, B).

RADIATOR
1.Drain the engine coolant.
2. Remove the radiator grille upper cover(A).
3.Remove the radiator support upper member assembly(A) for convenience sake.
The bottom side bolt(A) which can be seen after removing the under cover should be loosened for removal of
the radiator support upper member assembly.

4.Remove the radiator upper and the lower hoses(A).

INSPECTION
WATER PUMP
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.
3. 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.
