The water pump is at the front of the engine, and is driven by a belt on the fan pulley, the problems that it may have are, bearing failure, or water gland leakage, the latter may be seen by the engine leaking behind the pulley via a hole known as a weep hole. Failure in bearing can create a squealing sound or overly free movement, which can be examined with the help of a length of hose listening to sounds being careful with moving engine parts. This water pump can be taken out easily without having to unscrew the significant engine components, even when it is not easily accessible. First of all, secure the front fenders and disconnect the negative battery wire. In case there is air conditioning available, unscrew the bolts of adjusting compressor and detach the
Drive Belt. Likewise, take off pressure on air pump and alternator drive belts. Drain the coolant: this is done by removing the lower radiator hose and removing the fan assembly and adjustment brackets to the alternator and the air pump. Install Air-conditioning pulley Detach air conditioning pulley, if present. Then the water pump is taken out by unscrewing the securing nuts and bolts and then the fan flange and the pulley are removed off the pump. Wipe the surfaces of the gasket, fit the fan flange and pulley to the new water pump and wipe silicone sealer round the gasket surface before fitting the pump and attaching it by using nuts and bolts. Install the alternator adjustment bracket and screw the water pump attaching bolts up to the required torque. Install the alternator drive belt again, and set the alternator drive belt correctly in tension, and proceed with the air pump and air conditioning system as needed. Lastly, screw on the fan assembly, clamp the lower radiator hose, pour some coolant mixture into the radiator, reconnect the battery cable, and turn on the engine to test whether there are any leakages.
