Disconnect battery & remove all existing accessory drive brackets and
components from motor.

Remove water pump, scrape away any existing gasket material with a gasket
scraper and dress surface with a Scotch Brite® pad.

Clean and prep threads on engine block at water pump (3/8-16) and driver side
bosses (7/16-14) by crank (for power steering kits). Use a 3/8-16 & 7/16-14 thread
chaser if necessary. Thread chasers are available at your local auto parts store or
tool dealer and are different from a thread cutting tool.

Apply RTV sealer to one end of the four 3/8-16 x 3” threaded studs and thread
studs into the water pump mounting holes and tighten.

The studs can easily be tightened by threading two 3/8-16 zinc coated nuts onto
the stud and tighten them against each other to act as a drive nut.
