1. Drain the engine cooling system to a level below the thermostat housing. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling .
2. Remove the timing belt. Refer to Timing Belt Replacement .
3. Remove the timing belt idler.
4. Remove the fuel injection pump sprocket.
5. Remove the timing belt rear cover.
6. Remove the water pump with the gasket.

### Inspection Cleaning Procedure

1. Inspect the water pump body for cracks and leaks.
2. Inspect the water pump bearing for play or abnormal noise.
3. Inspect the water pump pulley for excessive wear. If the water pump is defective, replace the water pump as a unit.
4. Clean the mating surfaces of the water pump and the engine block.

### Installation Procedure
