Water Pump: Testing and Inspection

Water Pump Inspection
1. Loosen the water pump pulley mounting bolts.





2. Remove the drive belt.

4. Turn the water pump counterclockwise. Check that it turns freely. If doesn't turn smoothly, replace the water pump.

NOTE: When you check the water pump, you may see a small amount of "weeping" from the bleed holes (A). This is normal.





5. Install the water pump pulley.
6. Install the drive belt.
7. Tighten the water pump pulley mounting bolts to the specified torque.
