How do you Change a Car water pump?
for my 99 camaro, i had to find it first, then i took the belt off, then i took the bolts off and got a razor, and scraped the old water pump gasket off the water pump, then i put silicone gasket maker on my water gasket and put that on the water pump that is attatched to your engine, then i put silicone gasket maker on the new water pump and then i stuck that on the other half of the water pump and bolted it back on, lol i figuered it out by myself and im 16 and that is the first time i worked on my car, hoped that helped

Where is the thermostat located and how do you replace it on a 1989 Nissan Sentra?
To Replace the thermostat if you follow the water pump toward the back of the engine. The thermostat housing is located right before all of the coolant hoses go into the water pump it is held onto the water pump with 3 bolts with 10mm bolts. the best way is to remove the three bolts and take out the old thermostat and scrape away the old gasket material. then take gasket and new thermostat and put rtv silicone around the top of the thermostat ( I recommend using the 1 minute silicone) then slip the thermostat into thermostat housing. Next take gasket and coat with silicone on both sides of gasket. then slip it in and finger tighten the three bolts. let set for 1 minute or 12 to 24 hours if 1 minute silicone is not used then torque down to appropriate specs don't overtighten
