Removal and Installation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Nissan NV3500 HD, 2019 Nissan NV2500 HD, and 2019 Nissan NV1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
- Be careful not to get engine coolant on the timing chain or drive belt when removing the water pump assembly.
- Do not disassemble the water pump. Replace it as a unit.
- Check for leaks after installing the water pump and connecting the hoses and clamps securely.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug opening to prevent fluid from spilling.
