Cleaning Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not immerse the water pump in solvent. The solvent may enter the water pump's permanently lubricated bearings and cause premature bearing failure.
- Remove the old gasket material from the water pump sealing surfaces.
- Clean all excess dirt and debris from the water pump housing.
