Hey guys, I was searching the forums for a walk thru on changing the Waterpump/Timing Belt and had no luck. If anyone knows of a link or something it would be appreciated thanks.

The water pump is a pain

You're gonna have to remove:

1. the fan shroud
2. the fan
3. the drive belts
4. the crank pulley
5. upper/lower timing belt covers
6. the connections to the water pump (water bypass, thermostat, etc)

I've uploaded the sections of the FSM for ya ...

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone had this PDF on file because this is a dead link (the water pump removal) If not, does anyone have detailed instructions for the R+R for the water pump on a 92 sc300 2jz? Thanks.

I did my water pump, first time, in about an hour and a half, not knowing exactly what steps to take. taking off the crank pulley was the hardest step, mine was jammed on pretty badly.

just make sure you mark that the engine is at tdc, just like the cams. if you mess up, it's not bad, because the engine's non-interference anyway.

You've barely started.

Take off your crank pulley. This is a *****. People use different techniques. I'll just share what I did. I used a "chain wrench". Look it up. The crank bolt is a 22mm. Might want to use an impact socket. I broke my regular socket on that thing.


After that. Take off the timing belt cover. Its plastic.

Take off the serp belt tensioner. SHould be 3 bolts.

Take off your TIMING belt tensioner. its a grey lookin cylinder. 2 bolts for that.

Take your timing belt off. Just slide tit off.

Take off your TIMING belt tensioner PULLEY. Its located infront of the waterpump its a Huge allen wrench bolt.

Then you can take off the FRONT part of your water pump. if you need to take off the whole pump. Housing and all, you'll need to do a few extra things.
