The procedure to service and repair the water pump starts by removing the
Radiator followed by a lifting of the accessory
Drive Belt tensioner to uninstall the accessory drive belt. First disconnect the belt idler pulley before sliding the water bypass hose clamp backward. First disconnect the heater hose from the water pump through clamp release and hose removal while also disconnecting the lower radiator hose in a similar fashion at the water pump position. Next proceed with taking off both the water pump pulley and then the water pump itself. Prior to new water pump installation use Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-1DA536-RA or equivalent WSE-M5B392-A specification from Ford together with a plastic or wooden scraper to prepare the sealing surfaces. You must attach the water bypass hose together with the clamp before installing the water pump pulley. Attach the lower radiator hose to the water pump after hose positioning and then secure it with the clamp while also connecting the heater hose in the same manner. The last installation steps include positioning the belt idler pulley followed by lifting the accessory drive belt tensioner to install the drive belt and replacing the radiator.
