How to Remove the Elantra Water Pump?

[DeDaisy]

The method to remove the Elantra water pump is as follows: Drain all the coolant, remove the radiator inlet and outlet hoses as well as the bypass hose, take out the heater hose, remove the V-belt and pulley, then unscrew the water pump's fixing bolts to detach the water pump. The repair method for a leaking water pump is as follows: 1. Remove the water pump: First, drain all the antifreeze from the water pump, remove the V-belt, use a special tool to press out the water pump pulley, and then remove the water pump. 2. Disassemble the water pump: Use a special tool to first remove the water pump bearing, then detach the water pump impeller and seal assembly from the bearing. 3. Replace the seal ring, new gasket, new V-belt, and new pulley. 4. Reassemble: Use a special tool to first press the bearing onto the water pump impeller, then press the impeller and seal assembly into their designated positions. Press the water pump bearing onto the pulley seat, ensuring the bearing end face is flush with the housing and the impeller face is 0.1-0.3mm below the pump housing face. 5. Inspection: The assembled water pump's shaft should rotate smoothly, and the bearing should have no noticeable radial play. 6. Refill with new antifreeze.
