Water Pump Installation / Repair Kit

How to Install or Repair a Water Pump

A water pump installation or repair kit is a set of components that are used to install or repair the water pump in your engine cooling system. The contents of a kit may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific application, but typically include any necessary components like gaskets, seals, O-rings, and hardware needed to install a new water pump. New or rebuilt water pumps may also include these gaskets or seals and may not require an installation kit. In some cases, removing a working water pump might be required for another repair, and an installation kit with new seals will ensure a proper reinstallation and a lasting, leak-free repair. These service situations may include replacing timing components or other repairs on the front of the engine, and it may be recommended that the timing belt and water pump be replaced at the same time.

Whether installing a new water pump or reinstalling an old one during another type of service, a water pump installation kit will help you make a complete repair.
