water pump cover???

How do you install a new water pump cover? When I remove the stock one is water going to start pooring out? what are the step to doing this properly, or is there anything else I will need to do in result of changing this peace. thanks

there is a drain bolt in the cylinder and the water pump cover remove both and drain the antifreeze, then loosen the pump cover bolts, it should come off then maybe tap it a little if it is stuck, then it should come off, then if your just changing the cover put on a new gasket and tighten it up, put your drin bolts back in then fill it back up with coolant and you should be rady to go

Your manufacturere probably sell QRTS of premix antifreeze. Instead of that, ITS MY OPINION, that antifreeze is antifreeze. Just be sure to use distilled water, it doesn't have as many minerals to build up in your system. Use equal pars like your car and then test protection level. Is is suitible for your climate?
