Installation Tips and Hints

WATER PUMP INSTALLATION NOTES
- Compare the old pump to the new pump and verify:
- Shaft lengths match exactly.
- Retaining bolt holes match exactly.

- Verify the retaining bolts and bolt holes have clean threads. Re-tap or chase the threads as necessary.

- Do not over tighten the retaining bolts, use a torque wrench to properly tighten the bolts to the correct specification.

CAUTION: Water pump retaining bolts may be easily broken or stripped, do not tighten the retaining bolts with an air wrench or impact gun.




- When tightening hose clamps:
- Position the hose squarely on the fitting.
- Verify the hose clamp is clear of the retaining rim on the fitting. Do not over tighten the clamps.

- While working on the cooling system it is a good habit to clean the radiator and A/C condenser fins of bugs and dirt. This build up of debris can seriously reduce the cooling ability of the system.
