2005 Mercury Sable Water Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the water pump on 2005 Mercury Sable?

  A: The engineered cooling system needs drainage as the first step when repairing or servicing the water pump. The first step for servicing or repairing the water pump involves loosening the pulley then taking off the accessory drive belt. The next step involves eliminating the degas bottle while taking off the grounding wire from the car battery. The first step is to disconnect the B+ cable from the generator and the voltage regulator electrical connector before taking out both the generator retaining nut and bolt and brace. First remove the mounting bolt which is attached to the generator along with the generator unit itself. After removing the roll restrictor bracket nut and bolt you must position its bracket away before moving on to take the bolt of the accessory drive belt tensioner. Proceed by first discarding the bolt and the support bracket and the nut then disassembling the water pump pulley bolts. First disconnect the water pump inlet hose and the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector before removing bolting down the water pump while cleaning both sealing surfaces. The installation demands placing the water pump before tightening bolts starting from number 1 through 7 to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) and numbers 8 through 12 to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). After completing the installation, connect the water pump inlet hose to its source as well as the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. Fasten the support bracket through its nut and bolt while also adding the accessory drive belt tensioner along with its bolt. First fix the water pump pulley with its bolts then set the roll restrictor bracket including bolt and nut before tightening any fasteners. Mount the generator and its mounting bolt without tightening before fastening the generator brace with its nut and bolt. Both generator lower mounting bolt and roll restrictor bracket bolt must get proper tightening with their respective nut and bolt. You should attach the generator electrical connectors together with the B+ cable and the voltage regulator electrical connector. Position the accessory drive belt followed by installation of the degas bottle together with connection of the battery ground cable. Complete the filling process of the engine cooling system stands as the final step of the procedure.
