Water Pump Inspection

1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
2. Turn the water pump pulley counterclockwise.
Check that it turns freely and smoothly. If it doesn't
turn smoothly, replace the water pump (see page
10-5).
NOTE: When you check the water pump pulley, you
may see a small amount of ''weeping'' from the
bleed holes (A). This is normal.
