  Q: How to replace a water pump on Chevrolet Venture?

  A: To replace the Water Pump, you would need first drain the cooling system so that the coolant level is below the Water Pump level. Then, you remove the Drive Belt guard and loosen the Water Pump Pulley bolts before removing the Drive Belt. Then turn the Water Pump pulleys and bolts to unscrew them and take out pulley bolts and pulley in the Water Pump. Do not forget to clean the mating surfaces if you remove the Water Pump Gasket. For installation, we first place a new Water Pump Gasket then proceed with placing the Water Pump following the fastener notice in service precautions. Secure the Water Pump with 10 nm 89 inch lbs engaged bolts, then loosen the Water Pump Pulley Drive Belt makes sense. Then, replace the Water Pump Pulley bolts using 25 nm (18 inch lbs) and re-installing the Drive Belt guard. The cooling system should be filled and we should look for drips.
