Chemical spore. I love those clamps. Get the tool and erase decades of hate that we both had. And dont use rtv on machined surfaces unless damaged . It makes.010 -.040 plus uneven surface increasing wear on the water pump bearing. ❤
he used rtv on the gasket?
Thanks bro. I mistakenly forgot to take off the pulley before taking off the water pump but I used a table vise with a cloth to hold it still.
Thanks again! She’s driving like a dream 🙏🏻
Esas palabras estan especiales para una conferencia❤❤❤
Great video i liked the explination and the walk-through only thing that i would chnage is to compare the water pumps inside. And make sure they are flowing the same way. I one had a tracher that has worked on mustang all his life, and he never checked the flow of the water pumps but the firstt time he did he noticed that it was supposed to flow the opposite way. But the water pump was the exact same on the outside.
Thanks, It did not cross my mind about a reverse flow problem. Plus I worked on this car for free. Belongs to my friends, girlfriend. They bought the parts and I just put them in. Also replaced the thermostat housing.
O shit you killed me at the beginning of this video I was laughing my ass off actually had to share that
Hahaha. I appreciate the comment.
Awesome video and good work, but those screw clamps will cause issues. the spring clamp is there for the the hoses to expand and contrast and stay tight. the ones with the screw wont allow that and cause it to eventually blow up. good video but bad call on the clamps
It was a bad call for my friend getting a mustang. 🤣
Running silicon hoses will fix that
Thank you! Used your video to change out my water pump
Open your opening shot I fwu 😂😂😂 as well my girl water pump shot
What kind of sealant did you use for the water pump? 4:47
Permatex gasket maker
@@chemicalspore Thank you for the quick response!
@@DennisNedryisStillAlive thank you for watching. Subscribe for more content
Very nice video! Thanks for the intro
Lesson learned. Don't get a Ford? 🤣🤣 Just kidding. Thanks Spore and God bless! 😁👍
No no, do not get a Ford. You are right lol
@@chemicalspore 🤣🤣
@@chemicalspore changed a Ford water pump on an old 351cid bronco years back, about 23 bolts with 5 different sizes (not counting the pulley bolts!) A Chevy 350? 4 bolts, same size not counting the pulley bolts. WTH Ford?
Hey, just wanted to let you know, Karen passed her health inspection this month and added a keto friendly crab menu! She’s itching for you to try it out!
Oh man that sounds so tempting and contagious. Im just waiting to scratch that itch.
Chemical Spore 👍🤣👍
Your Milwaukee electric ratchet can losing and tighten the water pump pulley bolts without the belt being on. Saves a lot of time.
that is what I ended up doing, but I dont take chances. Like to make sure everything is sound.
Public service announcement always a necessary evil. Great job.
Poor Karen
@@chemicalspore you doxxed her lol
@@thisguysgarage her sign was putting it out there bro. Never advertise your short comings. Haha
I can't get the four 10mm bolts off my water pump pulley. It spins around when I try to losen them.
Keep the belt on, try to have some one tighten on the tensioner pulley with a breaker bar while you loosen the bolts.
Update. I got the pulley off!! Thanks for the help. Now I have a new problem. There seems to be a ac hose or something in the way of one of the water pump bolts. My 8mm socket is a little too fat to correctly go on the bolt and I don't wanna strip it. Any advice would greatly help.
@@Johngilliam87 i would have to see the situation, sounds like the best thing to do is remove the hose or use a 8mm wrench
Killing it man!
Thank you
Very nice how to!
Thank you very much
Cool video boss as i was driving my car i under my hood and i notice was leak from the motor under i believe it the water pump? Should i replace it
if you do not replace it, it can leak on to your drive belt and cause it to wear out quicker, Yes replace it
How did u put back the lower radiator hose i can't figure out how to put it back because when I put it back it makes contact with the serpentine belt and its gonna cut the hose
have you made sure you routed the belt correctly?
Great video thanks for the info
You are welcome
Great video. Thank you. 👊🏻
You are welcome, thank you for stopping by.
Nice work!
I do what i can. Thank you
Swing them tools like a pro 😁
Lmao
If you could help..... can a bad alternator cause the water pump not to function right ?
only if the water pump is electric
If the bearings are shot and it's putting too much resistance on the belt it could be possible, but highly unlikely, pop the belt off a pulley and give things a spin by hand, you'll know right away if there's a problem.
Thanks
I had a quick question my engine was steaming but im not sure if its the water pump or if it’s the lower radiator hose? all my coolant is gone tho i dont see any leaks do you know what can be the problem? im thinking the water pump might need to be replaced?
Take the belt off the pump and turn the pulley. If it squeaks it needs repacing. Also check the thermostat housing. If you have a mustang this year or similiar, the are notorious for leaking from thermostat housing. I ended replacing both on this car.
I might have to change the whole thermostat house and water pump
@@oscaralvarado9526 I suggest getting rid of the plastic thermostat housing.
Did u go with motocraft? Was it made in China or America? If I have dried up seepage but no issues would u suggest replacing it?
It was not motorcraft. The car belongs to a friend. She bought the part.
Nice vid , I haven’t noticed any leaks but my pump makes a terrible hamster noise for like 2 min in the morning, u think I need to replace the whole pump or just the pulley ?
Best to replace the whole thing. Water pumps leak on purpose, to let you know that they go bad. Sounds like that thing is on its way out.
@@chemicalspore it was the pump I replaced it myself watching this, thanks
good job bud
Ok I have squealing squeaking chirping noise on mine, replaced belt, idler pulley and tensioner pulley but nothing has worked. Could it be the power steering pump/pulley? Since I got it realigned and was told I have a leak. Question is say it is the powering pump, so I have to replace everything including the pulley? Same goes for the water pump? Thanks
If you have over 100 thousand miles i would replace the water pump. Old pumps leak coolant onto the belt.
Hi can you please do a video of power washing your engine bay. I got coolant splashed all over the place.
Just use gunk engine foam cleaner and a hose. Don't spray the alternator or spark plugs/coil packs. Do not use a pressure washer
@@chemicalspore Awesome thanks for the info!

@@chemicalspore Thank you :)
@@marlenea539 you're welcome
Don’t use screw clamps no hate just informed info..not a big deal but preventative maintenance goes a long way lol
K thanks
Damn skipped right past removing the serpentine belt, the very part that I’m looking to figure out
@itspersonal1030 You use a 3/8 breaker bar with no socket and pull on the tensioner till the slack is out of the belt. Not hard, my man.
nice job thanks eh
No problem eh
puuuurfucknfect thanks man
hahaha you got it dude
How much did you charge for that ?
What you mean?
Itd around 100 to get the stuff you need for the water pump
How u say its gonna be a pain putting it back
son of a b....
How many miles do these fail at I've got exactly 150 and looks like mine let go
Depends on the brand. You should get over 100,000 miles usually
@@chemicalspore my OEM has 150, seeing some antifreeze puddle under the front of the engine and it no longer has pressure in the coolant system after driving.
And I've had to add antifreeze so water pump here I come thanks for the video bro
I'm a body man ..I hate doing mechanical work though..
But it takes a good mechanic to be a good body man , and I'm the best there is
@Ocean Side than you should have no problem changing it
Is this a2008
2007 i believe. same thing
@3:22 what is that pulley on top called?
left, right or middle?
@@chemicalspore the one with the 3 bolts, is it the power steering?
@@mcgerry1543 the pulley with the 3 bolts to the right is the power steering pump.
