Awesome job with the tutorial. Thanks.
At howmany miles did you replaze it??
Excellent!!
Well this is a ton easier than changing the pump in a 4.7! Thank you so much for the WELL LIGHTED and thoroughly explained video. So many how-to videos have such poor lighting they are nearly useless. Well done!
This video surely gonna help tackle down the water pump on my Toyota Tundra.. Appreciate it!!
Great tutorials man! Thanks for helping folks out with this! This was much better than what my worthless Hanes manual provided. The torque specs were the only thing useful from the book.
I see this is an older video, if anyone still following it … didn't cover bleeding the cooling system. Any factory bleed valves, or the radiator inlet high enough that all air should escape there? Likely going to r&r h2o pump this wkend. '17 w/ 93k.
Thanks for the video. Yours is about the best out there. I saw a dribble of antifreeze coming from my water pump with recent oil change. I ordered parts from a dealership in Virginia (McGeorge Toyota). There parts were about 1/3 less expensive than I was quoted locally (what is up with that???). Anyways, I decided to replace the serpentine belt and the thermostat while I was in there. The most difficult parts are getting your hands in there to get the nuts off the fan pulley. Bolts to remove the pump are a little out of line of sight so a little challenge there. There are about 3 different kinds and 3 different torque settings. I torqued them for peace of mind considering it is a water jacket situation. I also used a tiny bit of blue lock tight on the threads. The hardest part was getting remnants of the old gasket off the face of the engine block. I used a small paint brush and paint stripper. I then rubbed it with acetone on a rag. Finally it came off. I wanted a high degree of confidence I wasn't going to hav a problem later on (peace of mind). I reused my tensioner because I replaced it at about 40k miles for noisiness. I did remove it, clamp in vise and put a wrench on the pulley bolt and took the tension off it and re-installed it. Since I replaced my old belt, I cut my old belt off as soon as I got a little ways in there. I saved my antifreeze by lining a oil pan with a garbage bag. I filtered it with cheese cloth that I had. It took me about 3 hours. I could do it faster but I am picky and I like to examine stuff and make sure I don't create problems along the way. Sincere thanks for your video. Really amped up my confidence to do the job. Terr
when you put the water pump back on was there a certain order that the bolts had to be tightened and a certain torque?
I love their tensioner pulleys though. That's awesome no way you can lock them open.
Not ever going to be a Toyota owner but always appreciate your videos thank you
What are the torque specifications on the water pump bolts??
'08 Sequoia w/120k… you just saved me $700. I've got access to the base auto-hobby at $2.50hr for a bay and all the tools under sun. Dealership wanted $800 for the pump/belt… and I know that didn't include a new thermostat or pulleys. All 3 videos had the perfect amount of detail and were nicely edited. Tracing the pump outline on cardboard to stick the bolts in is legit. Will also be pulling the radiator… the extra comfort and ease is worth the time to remove/install… and the extra room is likely to save you all that time back again.
Thanks for the video. The job took me 4 hours on my 2012 Tundra, which had 75,000 miles. This is too early for a water pump failure in my experience. Toyota kindly pointed out the signs of the water pump leak, and offered to replace it for $900! I decided to pay myself $125/hour and do it myself! Great tips on loosening/tightening fan and water pump bolts! I bought your advertised oil tools!
