During the following steps, if coolant should get by the plug in the dipstick hole and run into the engine, the engine oil MUST be changed before starting the engine.

  1. Remove the No. 3 (upper) and No. 2 (middle) timing belt covers.
    2.  
  2. Remove the water pump retaining bolts pull the unit off the front of the engine.
    3.  


WARNING
Do not spill any coolant on the timing belt.

To install:
  1. Place the water pump gasket (O-ring) on the block and install the pump. Tighten the mounting bolts evenly to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
    2.  
  2. Install the timing belt covers, making sure they are properly seated and not rubbing on the belt or other moving parts.
    3.  
  3. Install a new seal (O-ring) on the dipstick tube and lightly coat it with engine oil. Remove the plug and install the dipstick tube and dipstick; secure the mounting bolt to 82 inch lbs. (9 Nm).
    4.  
  4. Using a new O-ring, install the inlet pipe to the water pump.
    5.  
  5. Attach the clamps and bolts to hold the pipe in place and tighten to 7-9 ft. lbs. (9-12 Nm).
    6.  
  6. Connect the water inlet and water bypass hoses to the inlet pipe.
    7.  
  7. Install the water pump pulley and temporarily tighten the four pulley bolts.
    8.  
  8. Install the drive belts on all the pulleys and adjust all of them to the correct tension.
    9.  
  9. With the belts in place and adjusted, the water pump pulley will now resist turning. Tighten the pulley bolts to 16-18 ft. lbs. (22-24 Nm).
    10.  
  10. Install the front engine mount (mounting insulator).
    11.  
  11. Confirm that the draincocks are closed on the engine block and radiator. Refill the engine with coolant. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and check for leaks.
    12.  

4A-FE and 7A-FE Engines

See Figures 10 through 16

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
    2.  
  2. Remove all drive belts.
    3.
