Hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday. I'm on leave and murphy has struck. My water pump has started leaking out the weep hole and I have to make the repair away from my service manuals. I'm 700 miles from home and would not feel comfortable driving home.

I've done some searching and the torques I got from one post seem a little strong. If one of you are close to your service manual could you please help.

Pump Mounting bolts are 8 mm and the torque from the post is 35 to 46 Ft Lbs.
Thermostat bolts are 6 mm and the post has these at 15 to 20 Ft Lbs
Pulley mounting bolts 35 to 46 Ft Lbs.
Lower inlet pipe bolts (8mm) 35 to 46 ft lbs.

These seem a little high and I'd hate to snap one off.

Thanks in advance for the help. Mark

 

My manual says 18 ft lbs for the inlet tube, pulley and water pump. (25 NM)

 

Here is installation instructions.. with torque readings..

Thanks Guys, Mark

 

you are correct,


we looked it up with ed while doing a water pump on clay's truck and in one section of the shop manual on line with Ford it stated 35-46 ft lb,


changed it from 99 to 01 and manual states 18 ft lb.


so Chris is correct, only posting in this old thread so it might help someone else when doing a search for these specs.

 

Thx that - was actually quite helpful.
