• Q: How to replace the water pump assembly on 2005 Toyota Camry?

  A: The replacement process of the water pump assembly starts by draining engine coolant before removing the front wheel RH and front fender apron seal RH and engine moving control rod with bracket from the vehicle. Additionally, the mechanic should remove engine mounting stay No.2 RH and engine mounting bracket No.2 RH. The initial step requires the removal of fan and generator V belt before proceeding to disassemble generator assembly and water pump pulley through Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00700) to extract the 4 bolts and pump pulley and release the crankshaft position sensor wire harness clamp. The following step involves removing the water pump assembly through the process of extracting four bolts together with two nuts along with a bracket followed by the water pump itself. Use the combination of a razor blade and gasket scraper to clean all surfaces thoroughly before installing the new water pump by removing old packing materials while avoiding oil spillage on water pump and cylinder block connections with a non-residue solvent. Professional technicians should use Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent seal packing which they should apply with a 2.2 to 2.5 mm (0.09 to 0.10 inch) cut nozzle to the water pump. They need to assemble the parts within 5 minutes but if they fail to do so they must remove and apply the seal packing again. Position the seal packing correctly then place the water pump assembly alongside its bracket with four bolts and two nuts before torquing them to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 inch lbs.) and reconnecting the crankshaft position sensor wire harness clamp. After using the Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00700) to install the water pump pulley with its four bolts torqued to 26 Nm (265 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.), proceed with installing the generator assembly and fan and generator V belt accompanied by engine mounting bracket No.2 RH along with the engine moving control rod with bracket, engine mounting stay No.2 RH, front fender apron seal RH and front wheel RH. Engine coolant should be added and the system must be checked for any area of leakage.
