After run pump DIY

[20psinow]

so i have been thinking about this for a wile now and just could not deal with the leak anymore, so i got me a new after run pump to replace my old dead pump that was leaking! now i got the pump from ECS for $111.00, and takes about 25mins of your night up to replace/repare the pump.

this is what you start with the after run pump is right on top of the fan on the right side of the car.

you can see the pump if you move the A/C line (right below it)

now there is two torx bolts that sit right above the pump that you can get to with out removing anything, (hose's flex :D) when you remove the two torx's place them aside and pull the pump up and let rest on top of the rad support.

now i clamped the hose's off but i dont think you will need to because the pump will be way higher then anything else in the system, but just to be sure i did.

pull your clamps down off the nipples on the pump and get something to catch any coolant you might spill.

new pump vs old pump, your going to need to drill the rivet heads off the bracket of the old pump to remove it and place on the new pump.

now take the new pump and place the clamp on it and attach the hoes's and clamps for the hose's and get ready to put her back in place.

now it might take a min to find the holes :lol: but when you do tighten up the bolts that you placed aside and make sure the pump is sill in bolth clamps (it dose like to move around on ya).

now plug her back in and get in your car turn the key to the on/off and do not start the car, pull the key out and go back out to the pump and make sure she is running (you cant hear the new pump) i had to feel the pump to make sure it was working..:lol:
