2009 Toyota Corolla - Water Pump Replacement

[@HOODLAW]

I really appreciate taking the time to show the air bleeding process that you used! Most videos end when the water pump is installed. Thanks for the extra details and good lighting!!

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you for the feedback. I try and make the videos all inclusive so you get every aspect. Thank you for noticing. Let me know how your repair goes.

[@HOODLAW]

@@hyr0llr My repair went very well, thanks!

@@HOODLAW great to hear. Cheers. Have a safe weekend.

[@dabcorn]

wow, you actually had light, and I could see each part you mentioned - in focus! Thanks for the time & effort.

[@hyr0llr]

thanks for the feedback

[@redtirepump]

Great video. Really liked the funnel coolant bleeding with the back light to see all those bubbles with the tape line for reference. Super helpful video. Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. Cheers

[@bernackis]

Excellent video to follow. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Truly helpful!

[@hyr0llr]

thank you very much for the feedback. Good luck on your repair.

[@markla75]

Very helpful video as I now know where the water pump is located in my vehicle and appreciate my mechanic much more.

[@hyr0llr]

thank you for the feedback.

[@nicholasdial504]

Awesome video! My '09 corolla is also making the loud, grinding type noise from what appears to be the water pump. at 135k miles. Going to replace it this weekend and hopefully the sound is gone.

[@hyr0llr]

When you take your belt off sping all the pulleys you can to find the one making noise. Waterpump altetnator, idler/tensioner pulleys

Thank you very much for your time and very very helpful! It's easy to follow! Great job!👍

[@johnnguyen2376]

Very clear instruction & video ! Thank you for posting .❤

[@FlyBoyZJ1]

Great video! Was able to replace my pump by following along

[@hyr0llr]

glad to hear the video helped. congrats on the repair.

[@JamesDiaz-v7h]

You also don’t have to drain the radiator, the water pump only holds so much fluid so when you take it out there’s going to be a bit of coolant pouring out regardless if you drain the radiator.

[@djkothbauer]

Removing alternator is def the way to go. Just did mine. I hope I got the bolts back in correctly

[@joesmith9577]

More information thin is actually needed witch is always a plus great video

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you. i try to give enough information without blabbing on and on. Thank you for the feedback

[@raiderman28]

Great video and information. I recommend replacing the thermostat at the same time or anytime you replace a water pump or radiator. I would drain all the coolant and put new coolant also if you have the money b

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you. And yeah i know its good practice. My buddy was just trynna get back on the road asap. More than a service interval for maintenance.

[@raiderman28]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I make video and i know how frustrating it is to be moving the camera, making sure your getting the shot, explaining everything. You could have done this job in about quarter of the time, if you didn’t shot the video. I always tell myself that. 🤣

[@hyr0llr]

@@raiderman28 you know the struggle too lol. Thank you for the support man.

[@breadchaser3151]

Are they the same length? I bought this car without the pump and its bolts

[@stanislav9608]

Thank you, Rolando, for the great tutoring video. What is your advice of taking off passenger's side tire and plastic covering under the fender. Will it give me more space and better observation of water pump assembly. I will be doing it first time in my auto moto experience and cannot do it half blind. I want clearly to see the working area. Your video is amazing!!! I subscribed and will follow your future car maintenance and repair video. Thanks in advance for your advice.

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you. And im not sure about lookign from the wheel well cuz im not positive if the frame will be in the way. But if i can try it out and let me know so i can pin the comment

[@Tizoc999]

Thank you! You have a great and down to earth attitude.

[@hyr0llr]

thank yu for the kind words

[@thefixer1993]

How long did it take? I'm gonna replace mine tonight. 145k miles. Thanks for the tutorial

[@hyr0llr]

probably around 1.5 hours with filming

[@robertsimmons1716]

Excellent video! Clear and concise how to. Where did you get that awesome clear funnel for bleeding?

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you very much. And i got it from Amazon

[@Doodles1947]

Great video. The one problem is I had a leaking water pump that needed replacement. It is our only vehicle. I get a ride from my daughter, pick up the normal parts, and after I start this video for process, I see this clear funnel. I've no vehicle to get it. It would be helpful if right at the beginning you had a list of what you need to have on hand to do this job.A small thing in an excellent video.

[@JamesDiaz-v7h]

Not necessary at all to remove alternator, you only have to remove the the belt.

[@hyr0llr]

as I said in the video, if you got big hand/arms it will be easier. What I didn't say was I took it off so I can get a better view for the camera.

[@arthurallen189]

Thank you awesome video I have the same car but I haven't had to do the water pump yet but when I do I will definitely come back to this video .. thanks

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you for the kind words. i like to watch videos of my car also even if i dont have to fix them. lol thanks for stopping by.

[@rgill1847]

Maybe a good idea to replace the serpentine belt.

[@tinleo333]

How many miles the old pump lasted?

[@hyr0llr]

120k miles

Btw..what was ur millage when this happen? Is your alternator still good?

[@hyr0llr]

This was a friends car so i dont know the milage. Sorry

[@stephencook7337]

Good video, but two of the bolts are different sizes than the other three. Would have helped to show which ones go where….

[@JoshGibson2-w3r]

Thanks for the info, I ain’t doing all that. I’ll just take it to a shop

[@pax7326]

I accidentally loosened the two bolts that are amongst the five water pump bolts that I didn't need to remove. Does anyone know what the correct torque settings are to re-tighten these?

[@pax7326]

26 Nm (260 kgf-cm, 19 ft-lbf)

[@Malingkat5949]

Hi, have you figured what is the size of the hose in draining the coolant? And do you need to remove the drain plug all the way out or you just turn it a little bit?

[@hyr0llr]

I didnt measure after all. You can pick up hose by the foot at the parts store. See if they have any 5/16 or 3/8 hose and you can go from there. And just turn it until you get fluid out of the hose flowing

[@hyr0llr]

Also the hose is more of a thing to not make a mess. Not completely neccesary

[@Malingkat5949]

@@hyr0llr thank you

[@Malingkat5949]

@@hyr0llr hi, I wanna ask you a question again. Is it ok to use any type/material hose? I just bought a cheap clear/transparent hose at Home Depot. I was thinking it might melt or damage the hose because of the coolant? Sorry I’m not knowledgeable about it.

[@hyr0llr]

@@Malingkat5949 its a one time use. Youll be fine. It wont melt the plastic hose

[@jasonnguyen685]

Where did you find the torque spec in general?

[@hyr0llr]

Looked online until i gound one for this year/model

[@simply_the_dev7588]

everyone puts a white mark on the screw but no one puts the white mark on the adjustment tab on top lol I couldn't mark the screw so i marked on top bracket where the tab rests on.

[@ashrafulanam8734]

Nice work bro....

[@diecastneighborhood3319]

Question. Is 19ftlb very light. The initial tightening is way more than that right?

[@hyr0llr]

thats my thought too reading these torque specs sometimes. im guessing the heat cycles over time they just seem to bind a little more. lol

[@diecastneighborhood3319]

@@hyr0llr thank you for your easy to follow direction. I will take the same car this weekend. I appreciate it.

[@hyr0llr]

@@diecastneighborhood3319 thank you for the feedback. good luck on your repair. let me know how it goes.

[@stevo450ify]

Over time the dissimilar metals or even coating like zinc plating or similar, can corrode or react and cause them to feel tighter. You break the corrosion when you loosen the bolt hence why it feels not as tight.

[@orionfixr7713]

Changed mine a couple years ago but it just recently started leaking so here we go again . Got the pump off and it seems fine . Noticed the seal had receded in to the groove on the engine ( most likely the leak ) and it's hard as a rock and its coming out in pieces the size of a grain of sand . Ever have this problem ? Any suggestions ? Only thing I can think of is a heat gun maybe . Didn't have this problem the first time .

[@hyr0llr]

no i havent dealt with that ever. iand i suggest a brass pick to dig out all of the old seal and not scratch the sealing surface. A heat gun i would assume would help. Probably a defective batch of seals at the time.

How many miles was this car when u had to replace it ?

was a friends car and all i remember was it was over 100k miles. sorry for not having the legit number.

[@eacalways]

Why didn’t you replace the thermostat also since you already drained coolant?

[@hyr0llr]

honestly, just didnt think about doing it. wasnt overheating or anything like that. Just was making noise.

[@walleyehunter8862]

I changed my water pump 2 years ago and didn't have a torque wrench at the time and it seems like there's a slow leak from the gasket . Probably the bolts weren't tightened at the same torque sadly ...

@@hyr0llr I did it!! Well with the help of my husband but it took me all day because I kept having to change out the socket and also for some reason the alternator and water pump were super glued to the car.. it was so hard to get it out.. but at the end it all worked out.. ended up changing water pump, alternator, thermostat and belt.. also I leaned on a pipe that I also had to replace.. pretty soon I’ll just replace the whole damn engine hahahaha Thanks for your video!! It saved us a lot of money.. we ended spending for parts and supplies $200 for everything even the pipe I broke hahahaha

[@Quest4Unknown]

I did this then it was the alternator so pump cheap alternator not so much but did the whole cooling system with pump, thermostat, housings, hoses, radiator. Quite and runs a bit cooler plus zero noise after new remanufactured life time warranty alternator with O’Reilly’s

[@CallOfDutyInsider]

almost perfect just had to show how to put the belt on. still great vid

[@hyr0llr]

yeah sometimes i forget to keep the little things cuz im worried about the maine part of the videos. but usually there is a sticker with the belt orientation somewhere in the engine bay

[@jOHNWILLIAMS-rv5lq]

Even with average sized hands you don’t need to take the alternator off.

[@grcorollace]

When someone make it look so easy, is someone who has tons of experience this is not a DIY type of work.

[@hyr0llr]

im assuming thats a compliment. lol so thank you if it is. But it is not really that hard of a process. no special procedure or critical measurement or anything like that. patience and understanding is the key for someone who is trying something for the first time
