Removal and Installation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. 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 radiator 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:
- When removing water pump, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belt.
- Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, lines/tubes, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.
