Great video!! Followed the your steps and installed the water pump myself.My mechanic didn't know were the noise was coming from and while my pump still did it's job the bearings was rattling like marbles.My mechanic told me come back when the sound gets louder.I was told most mechanics overlook this problem and think it may be a bad alternator bearing.But he didn't want to do the job until he was 100% sure were the noise was coming from.Thanks again!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good work and Thanks for info.

[@jeffclark8860]

Well... 8 years ago (almost to the date) I watched this video for a walkthrough guide and it was perfect... Unfortunately I am hear again to do the same thing because the water pump has gone out again 🤦‍♂ glad your video is still up!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Welcome back!

Great step by step detailed video buddy even showed how we all drop tools and didn't delete like some other videos big thumbs up👍

Great video as always. You take it slow and we can absorb the details. I will be replacing my water pump soon! Thank you.

Thanks for watching!😃👍

[@bobskinner4389]

Thanks Peter. I need to replace the water pump on my sons Corolla so I have just watched your video in preparation. Many Thanks from Australia. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad it helped

[@liliaspataru787]

Thank you, Peter! I will renew a lot of parts for my toyota using your video.

[@LocsGunna]

I feel like my alternator has like to extra wires and cables that need to be disconnected in order to take off alternator. I am not a mechanic but watching your video now and my alternator won't come off as easy

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

Use a big screwdriver on the pivot bolt spacer pry just a little bit and wiggle back and forth

[@pineboxvintage]

Great video. Thank you. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who uses there pocket knife for a multitude of applications.

[@dougmartin574]

Peter, the car he was working on did not have an AC on it, I was merely saying it makes a different beast with one. because of the ac lines and all. Still end result was my car runs so good with the factory new water pump that I"m so pleased wtih myself in doing this...

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Doug Martin Thanks for info.

[@anunknowndude]

this was the best video on this process I could find, thanks for the upload!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad you liked it!

[@andrameda1]

I had forgotten how to place the drive belt consulting your video a second time, I learned were i made my mistakes. If you have knowledge about how to remove broken screw please write, thank you without your video presentation, I could not have started with confidence! I may have to replace the water pump housing and rem the broken bolt from the motor block it has turn into quite a challenge.

[@andrameda1]

The 17 mm bolt is fix and highly torqued I had to use pipe from underneath to loosen it. What I discovered the 19 mm is the one to move with pipe. Removing the alternator is the best way to change the water pump.

[@titodiomedez4830]

Mr.Finn i would like to thank you for posting this video, it is very helpful and very easy to understand the way you explain it. And just again thank you and keep on posting videos. thank again.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi. Bolt broke is always bad thing and you should monitor the possible leak. If leak appear in future, you must take the broken bolt away. I have also another video: how to take broken bolt off.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+Mikaelo 0_x Thanks and have a good day to You! :-)

[@Milanesa2010]

Mr Finn - you do not need to loosen the bolt of the tensioner in order to pull the 19mm fix bolt.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Milanesa2010 Thanks for your comment.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, thanks for comment. I need to test your idea.

[@luisoviedo9352]

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Emmanuel Bulang Thank you!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok, I need to test that too. Thank You.

[@lexusrx7579]

Thanks alot. I changed my Corolla radaitor because I learned it from one of your videos. BTW: why not using silicon sealant as 2nd measurement. I always use it to avoid unseen leaks

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great point!

[@mzchynky83]

Thank you for taking your time to make this helpfull video.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

mzchynky83 Thanks for comment.

[@GUALLACOL]

Very good video! However, I would recommend to use a small Bristol brush instead of the knife to clean the edges of the water pump. The reason: The knife can leave groves tracks and a nice seal can not be obtain due to this matter.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+GUALLACOL Thanks for comment.

[@jamesmanson2152]

Seems like a pretty simple job! Thanks

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@engelberthumperdinck2235]

Try it on a vw lol 10x harder as its located on the timing belt, under the timing cover, not fun compared to this engine

[@andrameda1]

I have changed the water pump, several things went wrong. I was able to remove pump without removing alternator however it was very difficult using a 90 flex joint on the 10 mm socket, your way was much easier take alternator out better method. Secondly the old pump impellers looked very good and the busing made no sound when spooned,; the gasket looked good however I Had mail order the pump and the gave me the wrong size gasket it kept falling off it's gully mold. I had use silicone gasket

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok. Good car repairs to You.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Excellent.

[@marthab4172]

Peter, could you tell me if i need to put a gasket also ??? My water pump came with an O ring and a gasket! Thank you very much Peter!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Noted 👍

[@chairmannb1]

I don't use knife, because uneven surface will effect the proper sealing. I use blade that what is used on the scraper.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

That is good !

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hello. A/C is one extra wheel below of alternator. Very similar.

[@aaronbensi9723]

Great video.. But in my view.. l would put a new pump in... Save the hassle of changing it next time.. Been bitten once before.. Lol..

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

[@DT-ub9bp]

I have a 07 Toyota corolla Heard some grinding sound coming from the engine small at 1st and eventually began to get louder during the last time Driving it would take extra long for the car to heat up even when I had the heater on full blast when I figured out I needed a new water pump when I had gotten a new water pump with with the rubber sealant and gasket and thermostat some new hoses I had the car for 6 year, did not flush are change any the coolant from the cool system only put coolant in the resovior tank topping it up, should I put sealant on the gasket when replacing the water pump, and flush the system coolant system?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank you for the message. I'm trying to help you. 👍😀

[@davidwivagg7393]

Nice video. I have a 2013 Corolla and I want to replace the water pump. I have a gasket but I purchased a gasket maker as well. I was wondering if I should apply this like a sealer to the gasket, and if so which side of the gasket? Or perhaps I don’t need this stuff.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad I could help

[@damionrose3535]

Very good video..more than enough information I needed

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

I like Your comment. :-)

[@Kimland1]

Nice project coverage! I was most pleased to see you put the water pump in without any silicone. I cant hate those who use silicone on these things enough! They just put a mess, and it doesnt help anyway! That said, I removed my 2005 Toyota Matrix water pump today and mixed up the bolts. There are 6 of them, in 2 lengths. I hope I will find out what goes where. I will appreciate guidance, but please don't post "I think". Thanks.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, I have video to bolt location too. Long and short. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabShmmLqr-kjtE

[@Kimland1]

Lots of thanks!

[@cr113]

According to another video (NutzAboutBolts) the shorter bolts are located where the flange is thicker on the original OEM pump.

[@timbervanlom5165]

Yes, when removing these bolts label them or set them out in the order they are from 12 oclock around the pump.

[@alaminpolash6725]

I have a 2000 Corolla with little bit over 100k miles on it. I bought used one from seller 3 years ago. Should I change a water pump ? Cause I don't think seller did it before .

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, please replace water pump, when it starts to leak water and coolant.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi. I have couple of videos, how to remove broken bolt. I send video link to You.

[@pasqualegallo8234]

My question is why reinstall an old pump makes no sense. And you should clean the area better and put a tiny amount of grease on the rubber gasket so it stays put and dosen't twist or kink and seals properly. Just my take on this

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

OLD is good and made by Toyota.

[@user-nw6dj7vg9v]

good 👍

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for the visit

[@0xwall]

Great video, haven't watched it through yet, though. Thought I'd ask beforehand; is this procedure suitable for a '02 Corolla Verso? It has the 3ZZ-FE engine; 1.6l with timing chain. Also, the car has AC, does this make things severely more complicated? Cheers!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, same idea.

[@DB5v]

Helped a lot

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You for comment. Best Regard Peter Finn

[@samuelnavarro2316]

What year is the car you're working on? its more difficult on models with air conditioning alot less roon to access the bottom two bolts

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+Samuel Navarro This is year 2000.

[@danieledouard4852]

HI Peter! Why you didn't use any sealant when putting it back in? I think it could help holding the gasket in place

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment. :-)

[@javiercastillo7269]

Do you have to mess with the timing doing this?

[@engelberthumperdinck2235]

No mate, the belt is just an auxiliary belt, its good how Toyota did this it makes it much easier, alot of cars the water pump is located along the timing belt, which obviously makes things a little more complex

[@norman33567]

Mr. Finn do you need to replace the water that leaked after you removed the water pump? was that a coolant or just a regular water? if yes, where do you top off? Thanks.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+Norman dela cruz It is good to replace coolant after water pump replace. It is coolant liquid.

what came out the water pump is water,right? I would not put water in my engine, because water is corrosive and build up rust inside the engine.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, the liquid is coolant liquid.

[@VinceCannavaII]

if the water pump was leaking badly enough then the coolant might have leaked out leaving the operator with no choice but to use water.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

It is possible.

[@Bulborb1]

Crank your heater up is what I've been told. And if your pump isn't working well enough to circulate coolant through the heater then it's probably bad as it won't be capable of getting coolant to the engine..
