.
Figure 8-3
2. Apply 10.8 - 14.8 PSI (75 - 105 kPa; 0.75 - 1.05
kgf/cm²) to the cooling system. If the pressure
reading drops, the engine coolant system is
leaking. Identify the source of the leak and
repair it.

Removal of Engine Coolant Pump
CAUTION
Pinch Hazard!
Carefully rotate the alternator
toward the cylinder block while
loosening the V-belt. Failure to
comply may result in minor or
moderate injury.
Verify the condition of the engine coolant pump
before disassembling it from the engine. Check the
engine coolant pump shaft bearing for abnormal
noise, sticking, excessive play and water leakage.
Replace the coolant pump if any of these conditions
are present.
NOTICE
If the engine coolant pump must be replaced,
replace the engine coolant pump as an assembly
only. Do not attempt to repair the engine coolant
pump or replace individual components.
NOTICE
Make sure the engine and engine coolant are not
hot.
1. Before removing the engine coolant pump or
thermostat, it will be necessary to drain the
engine coolant. Drain the coolant into a clean
container if the coolant is to be reused.
Otherwise, properly dispose of the coolant.
2. Remove the radiator cap
(Figure 8-4, (1))
.
3. Remove the drain plug or open the drain cock
(Figure 8-4, (1))
at the lower portion of the
radiator and drain the coolant.
