Drain coolant. Remove all belts on the water pump pulley. Remove fan. Slide off pulley. Remove hoses. Unbolt water pump. Replace pump using new gaskets. Reinstall fan, pulleys, belts, etc. there are 4 bolts holding the pump to the block.each side has a gasket. i usually use silicone sealer with the gaskets. put the sealant on the block where the gaskets go,(if you use sealant) then put the two top bolts through the pump, and place the gaskets on the bolts to hold them in place. bring the pump up close to the block ,and try to start the top bolts.if you succeed, then put the bottom bolts in carefully ,to make sure they go through the gasket holes. when all 4 bolts are started, tighten them evenly. before starting to replace the pump be sure to clean the surface of the block very well. after that is done you have to put all the accesories, hoses and belts back on. remember to refill the cooling system before starting the engine to check for leaks.

What sealant to use when installing a water pump?

I just installed a water pump on a 1997 Chevy Lumina and used Permatex Water Pump and Thermostat Housing RTV Silicone Gasket. Gel or paste in a .5 oz tube. Got it at ORilleys Auto Store. I don't like to install gaskets without something on them, just in case. I used a single edge razor blade to remove the old gasket material. You have to be careful not the damage the gasket face on the Engine water pump housing.

How To Install A Sump Pump In Your Home’s Crawl Space?

When you have a crawl space under your home, you have the possibility of having flooding or water build up. If the level of water is allowed to build up too much you can find that your home can sustain costly damage and repair issues. Installing a sump pump in your crawl space can save you from this headache. Here is a guide to help you set up a sump pump for protection. Step 1. Turn off power to the sump pump at the main power source. This will help prevent electrical shock. Step 2. A solid foundation needs to be constructed for the sump pump to rest on. This foundation is best constructed of cinder bocks or a solid piece of wood that is a little larger than the size of the pump. The foundation also needs to be level for the best results. Step 3. Drill a small hole in the discharge pipe. This will help the air flow easier through the pipe for better pressure. Install the discharge pipe from the sump pump to the area where you want to drain the excess water to. Step 4. If water begins to flow back into the sump pump, you will need to install a check flow valve or similar device. Step 5. You will need to attach the power cord for the sump pump to the discharge pipe. This cord must be secure. Step 6. Plug the power cord for the sump pump into the electricity source that you plan on using. Turn the power back on at the main power source for the sump pump to operate. Step 7. It is necessary to test the sump pump for positive operation results prior to using it. To test your sump pump fill the sump pump with water. Never test or operate your sump pump without water being present. Step 8. Add water or refill the pump until there is enough water to reach the level where the sump pump will turn on. Step 9. If you want to install a cover for your sump pump, you can do this now. These covers will help to eliminate dirt and debris from building up in your sump pump and will help to provide odor control from stagnant water.
