Q: How to Maintain and Fix the Water Pump and What Steps Are Involved for a Lincoln Navigator?
A: You must first detach both the engine cooling fan and fan shroud before starting water pump servicing and repairs. The first step involves removing the drive belt followed by removal of the bolts securing the water pump pulley. After that phase disconnect the bolts that secure the water pump. The process for installing the new water pump requires performing the steps in reverse order from removal.
Q: How to service and repair a water pump on Lincoln Continental?
A: Service and repair operations for the water pump start with emptying the engine cooling system while taking out the degas bottle. First remove the drive belt and then remove the water pump pulley by taking out its additional bolts. Begin by removing the generator then taking out the four water pump securing bolts before you can remove the pump itself. Begin by cleaning the sealing surfaces before putting in a new O-ring seal that has non-petroleum based lubricant. First position the water pump on the vehicle then install the generator as the next step. The installation process begins with properly reattaching the water pump pulley while securing it with bolts. Installation includes fitting the drive belt after which you should reattach the degas bottle and perform cooling system filling and bleeding to finalize the process.
Q: How to service the water pump on Lincoln Town Car?
A: The service process of the water pump starts with draining the cooling system. Start your service of the coolant pump by first removing the accessory drive belt and then unstowing the four bolts securing the pulley to the pump. Apply a torque of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) when tightening the new pulley bolts after removing the four bolts which secure the coolant pump pulley. The four bolts need removal together with the coolant pump before discarding the existing O-ring seal. During new coolant pump installation use fresh O-ring seals that must first receive lubrication using clean engine coolant before you fasten the bolts to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Engine failure will result from spinning the coolant pump housing after installation because it damages the O-ring seal thus causing leaks. The service needs completion through cooling system filling and bleeding.
