coolant pump as shown in the following image. Remove
the mounting plate, and knock out the center with a
hammer and punch. Then, reinstall the mounting plate
onto the coolant tank.

coolant pump.
3. Put the coolant pump into its mounting plate. Orient the
pump so that the elbow fitting is nearest to the end of
the coolant tank. Secure the coolant pump to the
mounting plate with four M10 × 1.5 - 20 socket head cap
screws (PN32625) and an 8 mm hex wrench.
