I like the video. @ 35:50, it is a good idea to give the impeller a few turns to make sure there is clearance. With my luck, there will be some unimaginable little problem like one of those open-style vanes on that aftermarket being knocked out of alignment by a couple of thousandths.
Actually the aftermarket blade fins are the new OEM style. The OEM style change to the metal fins I think for the 2009 model year. It confused me the first time I came across it too, but rest assured, factory OEM water pumps starting around 2009 came with the metal blade fins
Best video ever!!! I’ve been obsessing over this for weeks and months and been scared to do this job because the bolts falling in town but now that I see your video and you show the tip with the towel at 14:03 that shit helped me out a lot I’m gonna use it tomorrow hopefully it goes smooth for me thanks a lot man good video good shit
the tool i found on Amazon was full circle so the bolts couldn't fall into the cover. also the tool i got has the adapters to do the timing chain whole kit was like $70.00 works great
Also would like to add, check the water pump sprocket bolts even after you tighten them with the special tool on it. The tool can hold the pulley further out, and not allow the sprocket bolts to fully tighten. I used a breaker bar on the crank to hold the engine from spinning, and tightened them without the tool. But its important to atleast SRT the bolts because you dont want the sprocket flying off and the chain coming off.
How come it didn’t show any O-rings on the tube going to the water pump or the other the other side which is the thermostat I thought he did a good job I’m gonna get right on it tomorrow I just need to know about those O-rings because he didn’t come in a box the water pump box
You can used the same ones O-rings just be careful and grease them up it's going to be little tough to get it out. Remember safety first if can do it you can do it. Let me know how did it go Don't forget to give a thumps up on my channel if you like it and it help you.
Watching to just obviously confirm. I’m in for a headache. The cobalt started in 2005-2006. That’s likely a ‘06. I have the same style coil pack in my 06. They refreshed it in later years. Same engine as a Saturn Ion, Pontiac G6 and HHR. Just saying in case anyone wonders.
I installed my water pump 2006 Chevy Cobalt but I had got had I remove the bracket before I put the screws in how can I find out why homes that the shoes going to to the want to pump water
