Assembly

ASSEMBLY

1. If the water pump inlet cover needs to be installed on the water pump:
a. First apply MOPAR(R) Dielectric Grease or equivalent to a NEW water pump O-ring seal.
b. Place the O-ring seal in the housing groove where the cover contacts the housing.
c. Install the seven fasteners around the perimeter of the pump. Tighten them to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) torque.
2. If a pulley needs to be installed on the power steering pump, install one.
3. Place the water pump assembly onto the power steering pump shaft.
4. Rotate the water pump so the water pump outlet is near the water pump upper mounting holes (hole with dowel guide). Arrange the three pump fastener holes so they line up.
5. If the water pump impeller hex has not been accessed with a socket, use the following steps to access the water pump impeller hex.
a. Place a 1/4 inch drive 10 mm socket in through the coolant inlet tube, then back it into the heater hose fitting area as shown.
b. Holding the socket in this position, insert a 1/4 inch drive extension (6 inches in length or longer) in through the heater hose fitting into the rear of the 10 mm socket.
c. Push the socket with the extension into the pump placing the socket on the hex built into the center of the water pump impeller.
6. While holding the power steering pump shaft from turning using a hex wrench in the pulley end of the shaft, tighten the water pump impeller rotating the 1/4 inch drive extension clockwise using a ratchet. This will draw the water pump in toward the power steering pump. Tighten the impeller to 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs.) torque.
7. Remove the 10 mm socket, 1/4 inch extension and ratchet from the water pump. Remove the hex wrench.
8. Align the three pump fastener holes and install the three hex drive bolts with washers. Tighten the bolts to 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs.) torque.
9. Install assembly on the vehicle. Installation
