2003 Chevrolet Tracker Water Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the water pump on a 2.0L engine on 2003 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: When replacing the Water Pump you have to disconnect the negative Battery Cable and reduce the engine cooling system. Take off the accessor Drive Belt before detaching the radiator outlet hose from the Thermostat Housing. Once you extract 1 bolt and the heater outlet line from the back of the Water Pump housing keep both the a/c lines attached. Disconnect the compressor from its mounting bracket by taking out its 3 bolts then set it to the side. Unbolt the four Water Pump Pulley bolts and three bolts from the Thermostat Housing. Unbolt the 4 Water Pump mounting points from the engine block and press out the dowel pins on the engine side. To install the Water Pump put the dowel pins in their new space then add a new o-ring to the Water Pump and heater outlet line before tightening 4 new bolts to 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). Use 3 bolts to fasten the A/C Compressor to its positions while tightening them to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.), then join the heater outlet line to the rear of the Water Pump with 1 bolt and tighten it to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Use 4 bolts fitted at 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.) to fixate the Water Pump Pulley. Next, insert and tighten 3 bolts on the Thermostat Housing up to 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). Reverse the radiator outlet hose installation onto the Thermostat Housing and return the battery negative cable to its place while tightening the cable retainer to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Test the vehicle under normal driving conditions to verify that coolant quantity remains optimal and looks for coolant leaks.
