Just a fyi you can change that water pump without pulling that Alternator. I’ve done it successfully many many times.

Do you have to put distilled water in the system and run it for a while and drain it before filling with the new coolant?

So much easier with a weighted sockect. They can be a bitch with 3/4 breaker bar & 4 ft. pipe.

I never use a ratcheting wrench as breaker bar. Asking to destroy it. Otherwise great video! I snapped a 1/2 in drive breaker bar trying to pull that crank bolt off. This was after heating bolt with propane torch and pounding on it. Also tried using pneumatic impact wrench as you did. Still no luck. Then the neighbor kid came over and broke it loose with a Milwaukee 18V electric impact gun. Gotta be that vibrating action or something. I'm still sore from trying to break that loose and that was yesterday afternoon! 62 years old so probably why!

Thank you for showing the part number, the aftermarket looks slightly different from the original. I don't think I would have found it without this video. Aftermarket is coming up PTA1285 for anyone looking.

This was great but I screwed my timing up on pulley I was supposed to leave finger tight loose. I couldnt turn the bolt on the single idler pully more than 3 turns but it looked like your screwed in almost all the way. I mimicked how far you put the bolt in but apparently it was too far in (I used a ratchet) when putting the belt on it was too tight and caused the rear cam to jump a notch forward. Hopefully anyone reading this realizes how vital not tightening that pulley more than 2 or three turns in is until after the belt is on. I have not found a video on youtube showing me how to set the timing w the cams yet so boat anchor 2024!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I frequently have to replace things on my 2004 Infiniti i35 and the radiator was leaking. I bought the part online and was able to install it by myself with your video!! Very thorough and easy to follow along

I have the same car exactly and am attempting this tonight. You’re the MAN! Should I put thread lock on the crank bolt? I heard oil on it before inserting was a good idea

Make the tool holder L-shaped and place the spindle such that the drill chuck is next to the tool post. This gives more space for longer drills or larger dia. work pieces when cross drilling. Also make the spindle easily reversible so that this tool can be used for axial and cross drilling. Mounting a motor on the spindle makes it self contained. I use windshield wiper motors for this with a 3:1 toothed belt reduction. Gears may also be used. Windshield wiper motors are incredibly robust and powerful. I run mine with up to 32 VDC from a power supply built for this purpose. The current can go up to 30 Amperes at this Voltage! If you need a larger cross hole than this tool will drill, simply drill as large as possible and use that hole to line it up with that drillbit in the drill press. Clamp securely ans switch to the required drill size. I used small taper roller bearings for my tool, which made it stiff an robust and suitable for small milling jobs in the lathe such as key ways. Lathe spindle needs secure clamping!

Great, great tutoring video. Despite the luck of light (would be better to do it at daytime), somehow you managed to show everything clear and straight forward. I was a bit warried, but after watching your video, I am filling very confident and next week I am going to work on my daughter's Corolla 2009 (150 000 miles) In addition to Water pump replacement, I will change the thermostat and Serpentine drive belt, lower and upper radiator's pipes, engine coolant pipe and radiator draining petcock, plus replacing all coolant. I would only add one suggestion to make the job even easier - take off passenger's side tire and under fender plastic covering to make more space and easy access to the bottom bolts of Water pump. Could you provide torques if they are available.

Hey Everett glad to see you ! Thanks for the video

This by far the most informative video for a corolla water pump. Very easy to understand and follow. Thank you for the video

Good job

You did well. Congratulations again.

Did you put the silicone on the engine side or the housing side of the gasket?

HI! I NEED THAT TOOL, HOW MUCH IS IT? CAN YOU MAKE ANOTHER ONE?

You sneaked up on me with this one. It was great seeing you working at the machine again. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Great video man love the vicegrip switch

Everett! Happy springtime!

You don’t need to remove the alternator to replace the water pump, you only need to remove the serpentine belt.

Great Job glad to see you back !!!!!

Some times good enough is better than looks. Great job

Hello Everett, Nicely done... Such a saving over a new one... Take care. Paul,,

Awesome job good to see u back at tinkering with those shop tools ...

Nice mill work Everett. I am a firm believer that precision depends on many factors, and since that surface didn’t require a gasket fit, it was good enough. I’m not sure who laid down the beads of aluminum, but it looked like they knew what they were doing since we didn’t see any voids/ inclusions.

And another part saved. That will work just fine.

Hi Everett! Long time no see! Not your fault, though it's you know whose tube lol it must be eighteen months since I've had any notifications come up for your channel and this just popped up now so I'm back! Last time I saw you, you were clean shaven, now you've got a beard on the way to your chest! So that shows how long it's been. I'll have to start looking through your back catalogue and watch your vids over the next few weeks. My problem is that I'm subscribed to a great many channels and if you miss a few the KZfaq bloody algorithm assumes you no longer want to watch and stops notifying you even if you have got the bell for all ticked. Anyway that was a pretty good job on that casting given the size of it and the size of your mill. Well done sir!

Great Job Everett

Awesome repair! Was it necessary to mill the weld off the top nonflange area? Leaving it would make it stronger. But I don't know if it would interfere with something.

Nice work

Great work on the repair. One of those right angle attachments would have come in handy for this one!

Thanks for a new video! Best wishes for you and your family!!!

Getting it done. 👍

Looking good. Thanks for sharing

Nicely done ! Would it have been possible to tilt mill head 90, and use fly cutter for end.. Probably not enough room though.

I think you did a great job with what you had to work with!! Looks great from my house!! Lol. Take care!

Everett it is always a pleasure to see one of your videos thanks again and see you next time

Good one Mate . I see that housing still has the early type seal , wait until you come across the one piece ones . They are a real nightmare ! Yout big TV looks good !!!

Gday Everrett, great to see you back, the job turned out really good mate, cheers

Great information sir!!!!

Hey it works that is what is important

Which government is discouraging trade, Canada or the U.S. ??

Great job Everett. I think you need a horizontal mill. Don't tell the wife lol. Cheers Tony

Nice video Everett. Now maybe it's time to do something about that switch knob. LOL

Nice job Everett. Thanks for sharing.

1/2 to 3/4 of an hour on the lathe you could produce a really nice knob for that switch. Just sayin'. :-)

Fixing stuff is fun

I think your employer is taking advantage of you. I hope he's paying you for the hours you spend doing this stuff at home.

Hi Everett! Great job. Every day is a school day, if your living life. Nice beard.

G'day Everett. Good to see you on. You did a great job considering you didn't weld the bell Housing. Just wondering it the housing would have fitted across the lathe bed, & the chuck used as a Horizontal Mill. Either way Job well done Ted
