Replacing R32 GTS-T Water Pump

[MM2death]

Who here has done it before? I'd like some tips..

My existing water pump is on its last legs (leaking slowly through the weep hole).

I have bought a new one for like $98. Part # 21010-70T25.

I believe there is no gasket as such to be used. Instead, it is a cement putty which is used as the seal.

And i'd like to know where exactly i can bleed off the air trapped once i have done the pump and refilled the radiator.

All help appreciated,

Scott

I have just done my water pump, thermostat and timing belt all in one go (all genuine nissan).

I used permatex form-a-gasket sealant (brown semi hard setting stuff) for the sealant of the pump and thermostat.

Used 60k kms tectaloy coolant.

To bleed the system, there is a coolant bleed 10mm bolt at the top of the inlet manifold, at the very front of the plenum chamber. Has a small sticker that reads "never open when hot" on it.

Any other questions, or if you need any photos whilst doing the job (I took a shite load whilst my car was apart) email me steve_heidi at iprimus.com.au (replace at with @ obviously- spam and dodgy email sucks)

Hope this helps,

Steve

Thanks Steve.

I thought the bleeder was that nut but wasn't sure.

I'll shoot you an email as some photos would be beneficial to me.

Cheers,
