Drain the engine coolant.
System is under high pressure when the engine is hot.
To avoid danger of releasing scalding engine coolant, remove the cap only when the engine is cool.
Using the hexagon wrench, turn the tensioner (A) counterclockwise and loosen. Then remove the drive belt (B).
Remove the water pump pulley (A).

19.6 ~ 24.5N.m (2.0 ~ 2.5kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 18.1lb-ft)
Install the water pump pulley (A).
Tightening torque :
9.8 ~ 11.8N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7lb-ft)
Install the drive belt (A) after turning the tensioner (B) counterclockwise.
Fill with engine coolant.
Start engine and check for leaks.
Recheck engine coolant level.
