Quarters a Ford Taurus Bathe Pump
Loosen the douse pump pulley bolts while the handle band is yet installed.4. Remove the guide band by relieving the tension with a 15-millimeter wrench on the tensioner pulley and slipping the cestuses off.5. Consult with your mechanic before you best shot this type of maintainance yourself.
Instructions
Removing the Pump
1. Disconnect the motorcar's contradiction (murky) battery cable.
2. Bleed the engine coolant--remove the power relief cap from the expansion receptacle, assign a copious container under the radiator filter plug, remove the plug with pliers to bleed the coolant from the radiator, and then withdraw the remaining coolant from the engine block plugs.
3.The imbue pump on the Ford Taurus is connected to the engine's leading manage band. It is one of the most substantial parts of the cooling operation, as it sends the coolant into the engine. The course of removing and installing the pump varies, and depends by much on if the vehivle uses an overhead valve engine or an overhead camshaft engine.
Disconnect the heater hose from the hose pump and disconnect the wiring harness from the stud where the pump is mounted, whether the Taurus has an overhead valve engine. Whether the van has an overhead camshaft engine, disconnect the heater and radiator hoses from the pump.
6. Unbolt and remove the water pump; there are 12 bolts on a valve engine and three on a camshaft engine. On a camshaft engine, disconnect the thermostat housing and remove the radiator bypass assembly to arrive the bolts.
7. Clean off all gasket material from the water pump's mounting surface using acetone or lacquer thinner.
Installing the Pump
8. Place a new gasket on the replacement water pump, coating the gasket on both sides with RTV sealant.
9. Install the pump onto the engine for a valve-engine Taurus and tighten the bolts. On camshaft engines, install and bolt the pump to the pump housing and then install the pump housing to the engine.
10. Re-connect all other parts, which can include the radiator bypass assembly, thermostat housing and drive belt.
11. Refill the cooling system, using a fresh mix of antifreeze and water if the old coolant is contaminated.
