how to you get any air out of the system after installation ?

[@jirayasama7]

Thanks for the video, I thought it was going to be worse

[@MrRAMELDELROSARIO]

What part # is the water pump?

[@walterhinton2378]

Do you have to drain the fluid before removing the water pump

[@destineegarcia38]

I got mine changed in February but now my coolant keeps leaking out and it looks like it’s coming out by the pump. I’m taking it Thursday but will this constantly be a problem for Toyotas?

[@jerrysummer69]

Hey I’m in the same boat, did you figure out where was leaking from the second time?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have 2018 Toyota Camry four-cylinder engine .2.5 Liter with 105,000 MI. Just starting overheating. I want to replace the thermostat and housing unit and the water pump. Other than the toyota dealer parts department. Do you have any recommendation where I can order those parts? Also how do I remove the air from the cooling system?

Do you need to program the computer after replacing it to take the engine light off

[@Autotechmobilemechanic]

No just erase the code

[@reneehenderson4564]

hiw do you loosen the belt to get the alternator off?

[@Autotechmobilemechanic]

There is a place on the belt tensioner to put a socket and pull it back

[@jesusmiranda2073]

Hey bro could you tell me what sockets i need exactly

Hi, I have a question what did you charge the customer for this job? Because I'm getting crazy quotes anywhere from 6-$1000
