2008 Scion xB Water Pump Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove the water pump on 2008 Scion xB?

  A: The water pump removal process starts with negative battery cable detachment and subsequent removal of both the No. 1 engine under cover and the rear engine under cover RH. The caretaker should drain engine coolant before proceeding to remove the fan and generator V belt followed by removing the generator assembly. You must remove the water pump pulley through the use of Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 09962-01000 to extract its 4 securing bolts. The removal process requires disconnecting the crankshaft position sensor wire from its clamp bracket before taking off the clamp from the water pump. The removal process requires elimination of 4 bolts followed by disconnection of 2 nuts and the clamp bracket. Gently separate the water pump from the cylinder block with a screwdriver after inserting it between the two components in order to remove it safely. Be cautious to protect both contact surfaces from damage during the process.
