-
Do not use any device to pry the hose off of the fitting.
-
If at any time a tearing or ripping sound is heard (though the hose appears fine) the hose should be replaced. The sound is coming from the
internal reinforcing fibers embedded in the hose. Once the fibers have been broken the hose will be subject to swelling and rupture when
pressure is applied.
WATER PUMP REMOVAL
After removing the retaining bolts the water pump may still be stuck to the engine. The original gasket sealant may cause the pump to firmly stick
to engine. A few soft blows from a rubber mallet or block of wood will generally loosen the pump.
CAUTION:
-
Verify that ALL of the retaining bolts are removed.
-
Do not pry between the pump and the gasket. This may damage the pump sealing surface.
-
Upon breaking the seal, a large amount of coolant trapped in the block will generally pour out from the water pump opening. Be sure to
have a drip pan prepositioned.
