Fantastic video. This is the clearest and exacting example that I have seen for this water pump repair. My 6g74 is also leaking form the rear gasket. The engineers who designed this should be shot! I'll be replacing the "O" rings as well in the pipe leading to the back of the motor. Thanks for posting

[@beastcarsnj868]

Thanks for the comment. Good call on the o rings!

[@luso_overland]

Great video, thanks for making! Just one critical thing I need to point out to everyone - DO NOT reuse the original crankshaft bolt and washer. The original design was defective and backs out and/or snaps and has ruined many a Mitsubishi V6. Mitsubishi revised the bolt to part number 1100A141. We sell both the updated bolt and new washer as a kit on our Luso Overland site. Gen3 Crankbolt torque spec: 137 ft/lbs. Also, you're going to need a special tool or homemade one to put on the pulley to keep it from spinning when reinstalling the crankbolt.

[@beastcarsnj868]

Thank you for the information!! Very valuable!

[@7Logik]

Thanks you sent me one also eill be going in hopefully tomorrow if I can get the old one off without an impact

[@toddtonis]

Great video. Was this the 3.5 liter engine in this Gen 3 Montero. Is the Gen 2 3.0 Liter essentially the same process as what you covered in this video?

[@beastcarsnj868]

I haven't done too many off those, but its a very similar motor, so the process would be very similar indeed.

nice vid,going to replace timimg belt on my 2000 Montero.Hope it is close because this was the best video Ive seen.Looks easier than the Honda Odyssey belt I just changed in my son's wagon.

[@Qais-e8i]

Can you show how did you take the fan clutch nuts i cant seem to get them out

[@beastcarsnj868]

Unfortunately I can't show that, since the car is long long gone.. I used 10mm wrench and held the fan in place to loosen them. They are regular thread, I guess your's could be corroded and a bit stuck. Try soaking them overnight with penetrating fluid. Make sure you have a 6 point wrench, not 13 point. And give it a little whack with a small hammer or an extension. That little impact could loosen the stuck threads.

[@davidl5121]

You make the steps very easy.. what are the torque specs for the water pump bolts?

[@beastcarsnj868]

I'm sorry, just saw this comment. The water pump bolt requires 17ft-lbs of torque.

Thank for the video. Very simply and perfect job! I have the same truck but my problem is with the heat. I have replaced everything to support the heat from increasing except the water pump... It seems like a job for the professionals to do but but otherwise is there any other reason for the heat to increase?

[@beastcarsnj868]

Thank you for the comment. Do you mean heat inside the car, or is it overheating? Did you try to change the thermostat? It can also be installed upside down. So sometimes mistake can be made, and the truck will overheat very quickly.

For parts like MAF, oxygen sensors, cam or crank sensors, I always go to the dealer, and provide the vin number to get a correct oem part. These are way too important to play around with.

I find they are very soft and I do not want to round the edges off (even using crow foot wrenches) to the point I need to cut them off

[@beastcarsnj868]

I used a closed wrench on these.. try to find a 6 edge one, and make sure its of a reputable brand. Spray them with penetrating fluid and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. And replace them with new ones when you remove them.

Amazing video! I have to do this exact job, I can't believe you don't have to pull the compressor and steering pump!

Great video. I have the same vehicle. Did the Aisin water pump come with an O-ring for the bypass pipe that goes on the back of the water pump? I had my mechanic change timing belt / water pump last year with Napa parts and couple months afterwards started leaking at the water pump / bypass pipe connection. My mechanic doesnt want to touch the Montero anymore.

[@beastcarsnj868]

Oh man, that's unfortunate! It's really not that complex of a vehicle to work on. Aisin kit had all the parts needed for the repair. I have zero leaks after almost 10k miles on the repair. If you're in the tri state area I will gladly work on the Montero for you.

I wish Japanese car makers could go back to the true essence and simplicity of engines to where owners can fix their cars themselves like this. Technology is great but when it goes so far to where you can’t even fit your hands to replace parts on your own without having to take it in to a car dealership ruins the experience of accomplishment. We need to go back into time to where customers can save money and Do it themselves.
