I did this job, including the thermostat, yesterday for the first time in 5 hrs. I did not use a c-clamp when putting the alternator back on the first time and that cost me 30min of frustration trying to line up the holes. Using the c-clamp trick it took 5min. Great videos thanks.

Thank you so much for your videos! I'm a 20 year old college student and your videos helped me save a ton of money. I've never been a car guy, but I knew I didn't want to get an overpriced fix for my car when the water pump blew. Thanks to your easy-to-follow videos, I was able to replace my belt and water pump within a couple days. Thank you for making these videos!

Thanks ‏best explanation keep going !!!

Great video. Straight forward. Looks like an easy job. Thanks.

The links were perfect, thank you very much for the help

How long is the new bolts approximately? About an inch?

Thanks for the video. I just did this yesterday with the help of your videos. The most challenging parts were removing the two bolts on the water pump that are not easily visible and putting that alternator back. Cheers!

Did the new updated pump come with new hardware or did you guys find that out the hard way?

very helpful, thanks!

Do you have the links to those videos where you take off the alternator and belt?

Thank you for the video. I appreciate it very much, and you got a new subscriber. Thanks again.

Would you please post the part number for BOTH the new water pump and the old water pump. I want to make sure I get the updated version. Thanks!

NutzAboutBolts, my 1997 Corolla 4A-FE has a small diameter O-Ring (6:36) in the back of the Water Pump. I see you didn't use Ultra Cooper Silicone on the O-Ring. Is it good to use it or not? It's not easy to install the Water Pump on the 1997.

Thank you. Very helpful.

Will a 2007 Corolla already have the redesigned water pump? Trying to decide if I'm going to need different bolts after taking it out.

Is it dangerous if I sealed my waterpump from leaking in my 1999 1.14 A4 engine

I just received the new pump for my 2005 Corolla and all the flanges are the same height, just like you said. But it didn't come with new bolts and when I called the dealer they never heard of this and they don't sell the bolts. I'm confused. What happens if you use the existing longer bolts with the shorter flange? Does it bottom out before it gets tight?

Can’t click on the links to the left side of the screen so do I need to look for them after I subscribe ?

Do you know What is the Torque spect for the Water Pump Bolts?? Thanks :)

Not trying to sell tools but I’m sold on the Milwaukee battery ratchet for these jobs, if you’re do very much it pays.

What was the size of the new shorter bolts? (Length/diameter? pitch?) Thanks.

thank you thank you

I want to see oil seal and ball bearing change video.

How do you bleed out the air in the cooling system?

How much was the pump from the dealer?

the belt tensioner must be removed ??

Where did you get the shorter bolts for the new water pump? I know it is a 10mm bolt but do you happen to remember the length or the part # for the bolts? Great video by the way. Very informative.

I have a 2001 Corolla with 30k miles. Is the water pump something I should still consider replacing preventative just due to age vs miles? Was owned by a elderly person so miles stayed low.

Thanks👍

Where to buy the shorter bolts?

powered ratchet vrooom vrooom 2 seconds each bolt. Then torque to specs . However. try to not a powered tool with flat Gaskets that have holes for bolts in them. It will twist them and teat them up.

What’s the torque spec

So this is actually really hard. The last bolt is just about impossible to reach. Jacking the car and removing the wheel pulling back the wheel well cover helps but still hard. Need the small torque wrench also as the common large version wont fit and wont adjust down lown enough for the 96 and 80 inch pound specs. The new water pumps will need different length 10mm bolts that are not included will have to buy a kit maybe even use washers. The car this guy is working on has way more room than my 06 corolla so expect lots of knuckle scraping and cussing. You can also remove the motor mount, of course support the motor with a jack and a 2×4 then jack up the motor about 1 to 2 inches only, that will make getting that last pump bolt off and everything back on easier.

Sounds like he played triangle in the band at high school

That’s why I don’t buy a after market water pump. I go directly to the Toyota dealer ship and pay the premium price for original equipment parts and no problems

I have to replace my water pump and I'm getting an after market pump because Toyota charges and arm and a leg for replacement. Ridiculous.
