• Q: How to replace the water pump assembly on 2005 Scion xA?

  A: The replacement of water pump assembly needs users to drain engine coolant initially. First remove the fan along with generator V belt and then extract the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH. Use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) while employing it to retain the pump pulley to remove its 3 retaining bolts. You should remove the water pump assembly by unfastening its 3 bolts and 2 nuts before taking out the water pump along with its gasket. The new gasket and water pump installation requires the 3 bolts and 2 nuts to be securely tightened to 11 Nm (112 kgf-cm, 8.1 ft. lbs.). Use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) along with its specifications to install the water pump pulley by torqueing three bolts to 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). The procedure continues with engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH reinstallation and fan and generator V belt installation but only temporary chaining the V-ribbed belt onto each pulley. The adjustment process of fan and generator V belt follows after you inspect drive belt deflection and tension while also performing checks for engine coolant leaks before adding engine coolant.
