1: Water pump pulley.
2: Water pump component.
3: Gasket.
4: O-ring.

Water Pump Pulley Removal Note
Caution:
Be careful not to damage the belt groove and surface of the water pump pulley when using tools, otherwise it will cause wear, breakage, abnormal noise of the drive belt (stretch belt), damage to the pulley, and rust.

3. Remove the water pump pulley.
4. Remove the bolt used for locking the water pump pulley against rotation.

Water Pump Component Removal Note
1. Place a container under the engine to collect the engine coolant remaining in the engine.

Caution:
Do not remove the water pump component completely at this time because the engine coolant remaining in the engine will drain out.
3. After the engine coolant stops draining, remove the water pump component.
