Removal

  1. Remove the coolant reservoir (perform steps 1-12 of the Coolant reservoir remove and install procedure).
  2. Position the reservoir and pump assembly over a container to catch any coolant that is spilled in the next step.
  3. Release the spring clamp that secures the hose from the reservoir to the coolant pump assembly.
  4. Use a marker to draw a line on the top of the rubber isolator.
    Note: This line helps to align the isolator when installing it on the new coolant pump.
  5. Carefully remove the rubber isolator from the coolant pump.
    Caution: Do not damage or remove the push vent.
  6. Clean any spilled coolant.

Installation

Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:
  • Clean any spilled coolant.
  • When placing the rubber isolator over the coolant pump, ensure that the line that was drawn in step 4 of the "Remove" section is positioned on the top of the new coolant pump.
  • When all components have been reinstalled, refill and bleed the cooling system (refer to procedure).
