• Q: How to replace the water pump on 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: Beginning the Water Pump replacement requires the Water Pump holding tool (part number J 43651). You should start by detaching both the Thermostat Housing and then access the Water Pump through the front cover and right-hand fender liner. Open the discharge valve at the pump bottom to release its coolant fluid before removal. Secure the engine components properly with the Water Pump holding tool (J 43651) according to installation instructions. Untighten the inner bolts of the Water Pump sprocket before removing all Water Pump bolts from both front and rear engine block positions to access and remove the pump unit. Throw away the worn Water Pump o-ring seal. Start the new Water Pump installation by reading all guidance to prevent balance shaft chain re-timing and achieve proper sealing. Put on new Water Pump o-ring before making a guide pin using an m6 m x 6 mm bolt to position the Water Pump correctly. Set the Water Pump against the engine surface and secure it using hand pressure. Put the inner Water Pump sprocket bolts into position then tighten two before unscrewing the guide pin to insert the final bolt. Affix Water Pump bolts at 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) before securing the Water Pump sprocket bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Install the Water Pump access panel under the screws j 43651 and secure its bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Put back the right-hand fender liner and Thermostat Housing after last steps.
