• Q: How to service and repair a water pump on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Start Water Pump service and repair operations by draining the coolant first. First step is to loosen the Water Pump Pulley bolts while removing the Drive Belt. The service begins by unbolting both the Water Pump Pulley and selecting the pulley itself. First remove the Water Pump attaching bolts before removing the Water Pump and finally removing the Water Pump Gasket. Users must clean both sides that connect to the Water Pump. You must use gm goodwrench dex-cool (R) or havoline (R) dex-cool (R) coolant during installation but other types will require a coolant change at 50,000 km (30,000 mi) or 24 months. Place the gasket onto the surface before adding the Water Pump. Tighten all Water Pump bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Before adding the Drive Belt you should first set up the Water Pump Pulley and then put on its mounting bolts before tightening them. Apply 25 nm (18 inch lbs.) torque when fixing bolts on the Water Pump Pulley. Complete the system by utilizing air bleed vents followed by a leak inspection step.
