  Q: How to service and repair a water pump on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: The water pump servicing starts with draining all cooling system fluids. You must remove the air cleaner assembly and disconnect the Thermostat Housing to bypass tube hose before placing it to the side. First remove the two thermostat housing bolts and place the thermostat housing with discarded O-ring seal to the side. During installation secure the thermostat housing bolts at 10 Nm torque value (89 inch lbs.). Detach the coolant pump hose while placing it on the side. Changing the sealing washer for the center coolant pump bolt becomes necessary whenever users have to remove this component. Proceed to take out the four coolant pump bolts followed by the coolant pump itself. Begin coolant pump installation by applying a 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque to the center bolt before adding the three outer bolts without any force. Begin by torquing the coolant pump center bolt to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) and following it up with the three outer bolts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Installation requires new components at their designated locations where a clean engine coolant lubricates both objects; first, the sealing washer on the center coolant pump bolt followed by the O-ring seal on the thermostat housing. To complete the task you must finish the cooling system filling process followed by bleeding operations.
