Removal
- Remove the coolant reservoir (perform steps 1-12 of the Coolant
reservoir remove and install procedure).
- Position the reservoir and pump assembly over a container to
catch any coolant that is spilled in the next step.
- Release the spring clamp that secures the hose from the
reservoir to the coolant pump assembly.
- 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.
- Carefully remove the rubber isolator from the coolant pump.
Caution: Do not damage or remove the push vent.
- 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).
