Cleaning Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove and discard the O-ring from the water pump.
- Clean all excess dirt and debris from the water pump housing.
NOTE:
Do not immerse the water pump in solvent. The solvent may enter the water pump's permanently lubricated bearings and cause premature bearing failure.
