• Q: How to Service and Repair a Water Pump on 2002 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The position to begin water pump replacement involves draining coolant after which generator assembly and water pump pulley removal occurs through utilization of Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00700) to extract 4 bolts together with pump pulley until the crankshaft position sensor wire harness clamp can be detached. Start by extracting the water pump assembly through the procedure of removal of four bolts and two nuts together with the bracket and water pump. Instruction for seal packing installation starts with removing FIPG material from the contact surface before applying Part No. 08826-00080 seal packing to the water pump. All oil must be wiped off from the contact surface before proceeding with installation within a 5-minute time frame post-sealing. A two-hour engine oil insertion delay is necessary after installation. Combine the water pump and bracket together by securing 4 bolts along with 2 nuts and torquing them to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 inch lbs.) before reattaching the crankshaft position sensor wire harness clamp. Use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00700) with 4 bolts to install the water pump pulley while torquing to 26 Nm (265 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.). The process ends by adding coolant while performing a leak inspection.
