No problem. It sucked that I could not find a video when I did this, so I thought I’d make one myself for the benefit of others.
Thanks a lot bro, it answered a question for me. proves u can find anything on YouTube.
halfway through the job. it is pure suck. i might have to remove the timing belt to get at the lower 12mm bolt. whyy toyota whyyy?? Its like it was meant to be thrown away, not fixed.
This was a Witch. The pump pully could not be removed before pulling the pump due to body clearance. Lip of pully had been bent to get to bottom bolt. The motor mount had to be completely removed. A variety of sockets and extensions was needed. Remove bottom cover for clearance. Yes, same engine/4DR. Removed Alternator cable to get access. Wire short to frame. Now no power to entire system. Hint on Fix, Please! Saved 500 on pump Job. Now pay piper. Remove battery before start.
yeah, never rely on an amateur-hour Gregorys SP manual if u can get a Haynes/ Autobook..although I had to, was all it had at the library!
Got a couple of tips I needed to know in it anyway!
One of the most annoying parts of the job is that the A/C support bracket and compressor bolts needs to be undone just to access one lousy TC cover bolt hidden behind it.
THEN you can undo the several 10mm bolts and separate the two halves for much easier cleaning, the important thing being that then the two @30mm O-ring seals you will see supplied with the water-pump in the bag with the gasket, which fit behind the old rear housing, can be renewed…If not, if rear half is left like that, ur chancing those old gone-hard O-rings, which have now been disturbed anyway, not resealing successfully.
no, there is no need to involve the T-belt at all, unless ur changing it at same time, which makes a bit more work but saves doing each job separately as there is a lot of overlapping disassembly.
You have undone the 10mm and 12mm bolts so as to pull the WP off of its back housing leaving that back housing in place, but just done of of these & manual recommends remove -only- the 3 12mm bolts, after having undone the 2 12mm nuts on rear pipe, and remove WP and Rr housing as a unit..-CONT
Thanks for the info, you really saved me alot of time, I have the 1996 1.6 it’s looks a little different but everything comes off about the same
The pump isn’t run by the timing belt, so you shouldn’t have to mess with the timing. But if you have the time and cash you may want to replace the timing belt while you have it all apart. Part of the pump is under the timing cover thats why you have to remove it.
well i guess ill see what i can do later on today,ive already tied the timing belt.
I can’t remember that well, but the cams have a timing mark on each wheel that need to come together. I’m sure I kept the belt tensioned with tie wire or cable ties after getting the whole thing to TDC. Now I remember I had to take off the injector rail etc and it was a bitch to start until it bled the air out. Probably a good idea to get a Haynes manual or similar.
did you have to redo the timeing? and if you did,how did you do it? did you use the screwdriver technique?
I did the head gasket on the Corolla when I first got it. It was fairly straight forward.
You got lucky after all, today i found out that the problem with mine is actually the head gasket, ive already started stripping the motor,wish i could record the process and uploaded on youtube to help others with the same problem and avoid those spamming cheats of mechanics that practically rob people of their hard earned money,but unfortunately i don’t own a recording camera. :/
It wasn’t that bad really. Just awkward at times
Looks like a lot of work just to get to that water pump, half ways threw the video i was like,the bloody hell with that,i’d rather sell the car and let it be someone else’s problem.
From memory the hardest moments were getting the bolts off of that pulley up against the side of of car body. The plastic cover for the timing gear was also a hassle and mine was slightly split if I remember rightly. This made it easier to get off without having to disassemble other parts. Just persist at it and you will succeed. I sold the car a few months ago so I am a bit vague on the issues I had when I did my water pump.
I’m halfway done on a 1994 corolla 4AFE. In your expertise, is the job essentially the same? It is getting a little frustrating after the alternator :/
thanks!
Very helpful video, just what I needed. Thanks 🙂
