How Do You Install A Water Pump In A Acura Integra?
As your Integra nears the 90,000 mile mark (60,000 miles for those made before 1989), Acura recommends you replace the timing belt and water pump or damage to the car may result. The timing belt uses the water pump as a pulley, so you should change the two parts simultaneously. With a little mechanical knowledge and the right tools and replacement parts, installing a new water pump isn’t too difficult. Detach the negative battery cable by unscrewing the clamp that connects the cable to the battery with a screwdriver. Pull the cable away from the battery and then remove the front under-panel, if your car has one. Use the jack to raise the car off the ground enough to work underneath. Place the jack stands underneath to secure the car. Twist the radiator cap open slowly. After the pressure is released, remove the drain plug located underneath the radiator with an adjustable wrench. Be sure to put a container under the opening to catch the coolant instead of letting it drain on the ground
