• Q: How to install the water pump assembly and related components on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: First install the water pump assembly using 17 bolts tightened according to this sequence. Bolt A needs 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) torque and Bolt B needs 23 Nm (235 kgf-cm, 17 ft-lbf). Add the vane pump assembly before setting up the V-ribbed belt tensioner unit. Next secure the cooler compressor assembly and then place the number two idler pulley sub-assembly. Apply soapy water to a new O-ring before installing the water inlet pipe onto the water pump with 5 bolts that need torque tightening to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). Fix both 5 water bypass lines and 2 radiator tubes in sequence. Position the generator parts before putting on the air cleaner part. Use 3.9 Nm torque to fix the fan and join its cable to the battery negative terminal. Finally, install the V-bank cover.
