John, Sincere thanks for the tutorial video. You saved my brother a lot of money by MY viewing your step by step repair video in replacing his water pump on his 4.0L 1998 Ford Explorer 4x4. God bless for your generosity!P.S: I wont tell you had the fan on backwards at first. That's one of MY stunts....lol. Thanks again man!

hey buddy thank you for the video I work at the Irvine auto center in ca:) my ford eddie bauer water pump took a shit it leaking coolant I have add coolant every a few days I'm replacing my water pump :) thank again bud I learn alot

[@ethansepisodes3732]

Saved me $320. Thanks guys.

[@ethansepisodes3732]

I take that back you didn’t mention putting on the belt on so now I have to takeoff the fan again so

[@equipman811]

Good video showing how to remove and replace with one recommendation. Don't use the anaerobic sealant with a gasket. Unfortunately, it would be much more likely to develop a leak path because the adhesive must be in contact with a metal surface to cure; surfaces such as paper, cork or rubber prevent the adhesive from curing. Uncured adhesive remains liquid and will further degrade the non-metal components and possibly cause blockages or damage.

Thanks for the Video. This is my next job on a 2003 Ford Explorer with 2 heater cores. My engine is also a 4.0L but the placement of the air hose is different. A couple things I need before getting started is the fan clutch tool & that gasket maker. I also want to flush the system before I put it back together. Thanks again.

Thanks for this! I had to see how you put the new waterpump, fan and fan clutch back on. I have to remove the harmonic balancer on my '94 Ford Explorer 4.0L V6 Pushrod to replace my timing cover gasket by pulling everything from the front out without having to raise the engine. It would've been great to see a demonstration of that, so I'll just continue documenting my efforts with pictures. Maybe a video.

[@gregoryparrott7079]

this was a big help. Once the auto shop gave me the right size tool the fan was off in 5 min. Shroud was different, 2 piece and once I figured that out 2 screws and only had to take out the top half of the shroud. One thing I'm wondering. Your hands look at least as big as mine. How the hell do you get in these tight spaces. I feel like a pretzel when I'm done

[@jimwest1967]

i was hoping to see how you pryed the pump off of the block and how you removed the old gasket.. getting the old gasket off has always been a pain in the ass for me

[@miguel.acordero9030]

Thumbs up on your video thanks for all the details I'll be waiting to see see other videos.

[@billnah6255]

Deeply appreciated. Thanks. So very much.

[@swilson6206]

good video. i didn't see you put on the belt. did you loosen the idler wheel?

[@al-z4419]

Hello would that video be the same as workn on 07 ford ecplorer 4.0 2wd

[@bobbybandz3540]

Just subscribed to your channel, this video is going to save my ass on Friday.. Appreciate the video Joe

[@mikeacosta9917]

Much appreciated fellas. Needed that.

[@vinny3725]

oh wow, so there's no need to torque it down with 8lb of pressure ?? I was wondering because I'm doing mine in the morning and with a 2000 Ford Explorer XLS I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I get started

[@rafaelmonterm]

Tnks for the video it helps me save some money

[@jimwest1967]

if it doesnt say RH threads on the shroud does it mean it has left hand threads?

[@danielmaqueda5550]

Perfect video for what I needed to do. This guy knows his shit.

[@frankojuicke8980]

How do you get the air out

[@snipezilla69]

Thanks for the great videos!

[@terryjoe323la]

If it's only the gasket that is messed up do I have to change the whole water pump or just replace the gasket let me know something I have a 97 Ford Explorer and I'm having that leak problem

[@imupsidedown]

Lots of missing information, wheres the video of the pulley being reinstalled? Or the the pump removal and cleaning? Would have liked to see the belt installation as well.

[@daveerrington5166]

You supposed to use sealant? I didn’t think you were supposed to

[@atkgrl]

Didn't see where you put your hoses, pulley or belt back on then you say the video is for radiator replacement not power steering pump. Could you also add in text the silicone sealer your using? Should the pump be primed some how prior to staring the engine ? Thanks great video. Have it right next to me as I'm pulling my 2002 Ford Explorer sport trac apart !!! Thanks!

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

PlayGirl The sealer we are using is Permatex Anaerobic gasket maker . very good stuff, thanks

[@jasonlawson9608]

Do you have a pic of the Permatex Anaerobic gasket maker sealant or the part number? I am having trouble finding it. I looked at AutoZone and Pep Boys for it.

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

Yes, type "permatex anaerobic gasket maker" on Google, you will find a pic. It wont let me post a picture here, thanks

[@patrickringeval4480]

Love my ford explorer

[@Munkylaw]

Thank you for this video.

[@josephd.escribano2709]

Ford Explorer 2004. V6 4.0 what number the 🔧??? Thanks

[@leemorales3884]

That Permatex stuff.. do they got it O'Reilly's or Autozone? My '98 4.0 4x4 has 250,000+ miles and still running strong. Very reliable built Ford tough motor. -TX

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

+Lee Morales , Yes they do, it is about $30 a tube. Use sparingly, it will last a while for you.

[@HealthFitnessMartialArtsDEng]

I see that you spun the clutch fan back on but did not tighten it

[@josephd.escribano2709]

Hi right now i have the Water Pumps i can't put out the Fam. What cain the 🔧 ???n

[@thomasgarcia374]

nice job guys

[@cadstansel5660]

Do u know if its ok to install an electric instead of original

[@cadstansel5660]

Fan

[@daniejames2591]

Is it just me or Part1 is a different Pump your replacing. I have two 02-07 4.0 explorers and the pump dosent look like that.

[@88Spaz]

on a ford explorer how do you tell that the water pump is going i found radiator fluid in a pool on the motor?

[@CarRepairsMadeEasy1]

if the water pump is starting to leak you would likely see stains from the coolant somewhere on the pump or at the mounting locations where the gaskets are. you could also remove the belt and spin the pulley by hand, it should be smooth and turn freely and not have any play at the pulley shaft. if it does then the bearings are likely starting to go bad.

[@MAGA_Extremist_63]

Thanks!

[@loviev1134]

I didn't see how u took the pulley off the water pump once u took it off

[@AdmiralKakarot]

this is good to know because the pump on my 96 Explorer 4.0 just blew

[@carlrudd1858]

Skipped Right Over connecting hoses.... DANG
