How do you change a water pump on a 1988 range rover?

Answer 1

1) Warm the engine to normal operating temperature, then shut it off and drain the coolant.

2) Support the engine with a floor jack and wood, then remove the front engine mount and bracket.

3) Loosen the water pump pulley bolts, then remove the belt and tensioner.

4) Unbolt the water pump and gasket. Remove and discard the bypass hose.

5) Cleanthe water pump mounting bolt threads using a wire wheel and coat them in PTFE thread sealing paste.

6) Reinstall in reverse order using a new water pump and bypass hose.

7) Fill the cooling system with _new_ coolant, then check for leaks.
