Thanks John. Great video. Not sure you'll get this, but my questions are: do you also apply sealer/sealant to the engine surface also? Or is sealer/sealant sufficient on the pump and both sides of the gasket alone? Also, does the grey sealant absolutely need to cure for 24 hours? I realize you were using an anaerobic sealant vs. the grey silicone stuff, as it appeared you were tightening the (12) bolts down immediately. The instructions for the grey sealer says "finger tighten and let cure for one hour before tightening the bolts." I followed those instructions and after all that labor it's still leaking. It was a deflating, to say the least. Last question, is a gasket absolutely necessary? You mentioned (at least I thought I heard you say it) that a gasket wasn't necessary. Thanks for any input. Now that I know procedure, it won't take as long, and will do it again. Thanks again.
hey *+john*, your fan is about to disintegrate and i sure hope it doesn't do it at full operating speed with the clutch engaged or you're going to be replacing a LOT of parts. look at the huge crack in the fan hub at 5:44, i mean that's more massive than all the little cracks i have on my 2002. and at 6:53, some bigger ones. mine has cracks between most of the fins and i have been waiting for rockauto to restock the dorman fan but i'm giving up on waiting and going to order the motocraft one along with a fan clutch and water pump and that little tiny bypass hose at the top of the water pump because it's only really accessible when the waterpump is removed. (my 02 has a much smaller hose than yours about 2" long buried and i mean buried in there) if you've got a massive crack like that i bet you 100 bucks you've got them all around the fan hub too. could you imagine if the thing gave way when the motor was running and you're face was right over it inspecting your engine? it would be like a vietnam cluster bomb. .
if you can't get the petcock open, grab some things hose. I keep some 1/4" ID hose for things like this. feed one end down through the rad cap opening and siphon the coolant out. it isn't fast but it's very clean and effective.
I have a 97 Eddie Bauer 4 door explorer and the water pump locked up on it yesterday evening and Also destroyed the pulley Shaft coming out of the power steering pump as well, so now I got to put a power steering pump and water pump on togetherbut wasn't one bit shocked when I seen that the serpentine belt was in perfect condition and not bothered one bit but explorers are a mess to work on pretty much anytime it seems like especially changing oil, they make a hell of a mess just about every time and anything to do with the cooling system turns out being messy and brake jobs are a pain in the ass with these vehicles to
Thank you for answering the question I just had. Why these creators of videos don't consider the point of view of the viewer. The detail of SOHC or OHV should have been in the tite and first scene of video and in the summary. Hopefully the person did a better job showing the repair.
Hey John like your videos they seemed really helpful. Currently changing the water pump in a 2006 Ford Fusion sev 6. Cylinder. I've changed water pumps good for when they have a tensioner screw to take the build off however I can't see where that is and this model of car. Only thing I can see to do would be to pry it off with a screwdriver don't know if that's correct. Do you have any suggestions or videos related to this model of car and particular water pump. If so it will be helpful or you may know I have a friend on here with videos related to my issue. Thank you suggestions to help would be appreciated. I have pictures in my phone also which I could post. Have a good day .
Rented a Puller from Autozone, pulled harmonic balencer pulley. Put on new water pump, new hoses,new belt. Put balancer back. No leaks.new thermostat. Had to install new t shaped hose connector, really hard to find tho. Napa had the complete pump( both pieces), johnnys had best prices on parts. Car runs great. Improved ac, engine performance, and done deal. Preciate all your advice and videos John . Be Well.
A bad water pump may not always leak. It could make noise like you are describing bur to bad bearings inside it. Unfortunately it is going or be hard to tell because your noise is not gone after spraying lube on your pulleys. It could have been just a belt noise. One way to help find out is to remove the belt and spin each pulley one at a time by hand as fast as you can. Listen for noise while the pulley is spinning that should help you to isolate the noise. One thing that may help is to get a stethoscope and use that to listen for the noise. It will help to locate noises the you may not be able to hear with just your ears. You should be able to get them at an auto parts store or maybe harbor freight, if one is near you for a cheap price..probably 10-15 bucks
where is Lincoln on the back of the motor water lily from the top what hoses can be broke by there to make it look like that because it happened on often
When water pump is bad are there always linking from it, my 95 explorer making a noise changed the tensioner pully still making noise, the noise is coming from the front of my motor sprayed lubricant in the pullys it stopped I'm schelled to get a water pump replaced its not leaking nowhere can anyone give me any suggestions
Damn good video I like how u showed how to do it if your not replacing the radiator and hoses great job thanks for sharing with us
I have the exact same truck. Did the WP many years ago. Those idler pulleys are known to go south too.

The part 1 and part 2 videos do not show how you handled the waterpump pulley. Do you have a video that shows that step?

11:34 His hotpocket is ready...
people always tell me never use both the gasket and rtv. but between the gasket and engine could never hurt
wow thanks for this video guys really helpful...thanks again
What do you torque the bolts to? I didn’t see you use a torque wrench, isn’t one needed?
Also note that this is the OHV engine and not the SOHC.
Thank you for answering the question I just had.
Why these creators of videos don't consider the point of view of the viewer. The detail of SOHC or OHV should have been in the tite and first scene of video and in the summary. Hopefully the person did a better job showing the repair.
@@Mn09lfV6f For future reference, only the 4.0 OHV has "EFI" on the engine cover. The similar cover on a SOHC has "SOHC" on it.
What year is this 4.0 it always helps to give the year so people don't waste their time mine is a 94 and is different!

Exelente
Dog scared the shit out of me..😂
Great video
Would this process be more or less comparable to a 2004 Explorer?
why you have to drained
When water pump is bad are there always linking from it, my 95 explorer making a noise changed the tensioner pully still making noise, the noise is coming from the front of my motor sprayed lubricant in the pullys it stopped I'm schelled to get a water pump replaced its not leaking nowhere can anyone give me any suggestions
Required tools?
How long does it take to fix a water pump?
It’s Tru 3-4 years
what size is the wrench to remove the fan
You need a fan clutch tool
Yeah real nice til that fan just wont budge and that water pump pulley just keeps spinning. Ughhhh
Mad easier just taking out the radiator.
Video wont play so does me no good
i am confused 😖😖😖
