Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 1:
Clean all excess dirt and debris from the water pump housing.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 2:
Run your vehicle to increase engine temperature, and ensure the system is pressurized.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 3:
Inspect for leakage at the water pump outlet housing or the rear cover gasket, and leakage at the water pump vent or weep hole.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 4:
A stain around the weep hole is acceptable. However, if a weep occurs with the engine running and the coolant system pressurized, then the water pump should be replaced.

Tips for Water Pump Inspection:
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 1:
Clean and reinstall the coolant recovery reservoir before flushing the cooling system.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 3:
Do not use any non-approved flush agents, and replace the coolant according to manufacturer's specifications.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 4:
Clean all sealing surfaces, and make sure all old gasket material is removed before installing your replacement component.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 5:
Never strike the water pump shaft, since this will damage the new water pump.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 3 - Bullet 1:
Flush your cooling system whenever the water pump or other system components are replaced. This will help prevent contamination from entering the system, which may result in repeated failure.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 3 - Bullet 3:
Never overtighten your drive belts. Belts that are too tight may cause an overload on pump bearings, greatly reducing the life of the water pump.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 3 - Bullet 4:
Inspect the fan blade. If damage is not detected, bent blades, loose rivets, and cracks may result in premature bearing failure. If damage is found, do not try to repair the fan-the part should be replaced.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 3 - Bullet 5:
Ensure that your engine fan pulley (or clutch, if used) is seated properly on the pump's shaft. If the fan wobbles during rotation, vibration resulting in premature bearing wear may occur. Also check the fan clutch for wear and replace as ne
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 3 - Bullet 6:
Inspect the thermostat and radiator cap. Examine your thermostat and radiator cap, and replace if they show signs of sticking or leaking.

Tips for Water Pump Servicing & Installation:
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 7:
Use sealant tabs only if recommended. Some sealant tabs or similar compounds may restrict coolant flow through the passages of some cooling systems.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 6:
Torque all bolts according to the manufacturer's specifications, and adjust belts to proper tension (if applicable) to manufacturer's specifications.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 8:
With the new pump installed, turn the hub by hand and check for rotation.
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 9:
After installation, pressure-test the system for leaks and check for sufficient fan blade clearance between the blade and radiator shroud.

Tips to Help Prevent Water Pump Failure:
Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - Bullet 10:
Inspect related components in the cooling system, including your fan blades, fan clutch, engine mounts, radiator, belts and hoses, and reservoir.
