2005 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace a water pump on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: You need to start by emptying the cooling system and detaching the electric cooling fan before Water Pump replacement. Turn the inlet hose clamp and disconnect the hose from the Water Pump. Take out the accessory Drive Belt before moving on to adjust and remove the outlet hose. First take off the surge tank outlet hose through its clamp and next remove the heater inlet hose using its clamp. Unbolt the four Water Pump pieces then extract the Water Pump unit plus gaskets while getting rid of worn-out gaskets. Before adding the Water Pump install the gaskets onto smooth non-oiled surfaces. Put the new Water Pump and gaskets in place and bolt down its four fasteners by applying force of 15 nm then tightening to 30 nm. Put back the heater inlet hose and its clamp while placing the surge tank outlet hose and its clamp next. Connect and install the outlet hose and its clamp. Close the task by placing the accessory Drive Belt, connecting the inlet hose, attaching its clamp, and adding the electric cooling fan. Finish the cooling system procedure by adding the necessary fluids.
