How do you replace the water pump on a 1989 Honda Accord?

Answer 1

First, disconnet the Negative Battery cable from the battery terminal.

2nd, Loosen the bolts on the wp pully, but do not remove them yet.

3rd, loosen and remove the belt(s)

4th, remove the pully completely from the wp

5th, break loose and remove the wp fasteners (6 ea)

6th, clean all mating areas exposed from wp removal, including the fasteners. Inspect for damage in all areas including the wp fasteners.

Note: Be aware of a WP inlet tube which is independant of the engine mating area. Clean and inspect the tubeing end as well during inspection, you'll replace the o-ring for the tubing end as well as the main wp mating flangel

7th, apply a thin coat of rtv blue sealer around the o-ring areas to add postive seal due to possible pitting from corrsion, just before installing the wp.

Install comonents in the reverse order of removal above.
