Very detailed video, thank you! Now for the bad... a DIY person would be in a lot of trouble if those ears broke off at home trying to pull a simple water pump that is a maintenance item! What in the world was Nissan thinking? First, the location is not ideal, if the water pump starts to leak at the front of the shaft you would have antifreeze going into the crankcase ruining bearings throughout the engine. Second, it's driven by the timing chain giving the chance of messing up timing while replacing a simple water pump. This is not the only engine Nissan or other manufacturers make that have done this, STUPID! Water pumps were originally designed to be external... FOR A REASON! Stupid manufacturers are making fixing a simple item next to impossible for an at-home mechanic.
This is a detailed work , now I find out that Nissan made a Stupid Design for the Water Pump replacement and I will not buy another Nissan vehicle again in the future... Toyota / Honda are better with practical design change for water pump replacement....thank you sir !
im not a mechanic but the way that water pump look i will had replace the thermostat that it was right next to it just to avoid future problems with the cooling system
Not a mechanic. Stop leak ( Actually Bars Leak) does not differentiate between an actual leak and a water path . I used it before I knew about it, and I had to have the engine cleaned, and wouldn't you know it; have the water pump changed anyway.

What a stupid design--- all that work for a 90 dollar water pump, great video
I changed the one on my stepsons Altima. It is a stupid AF design
Nice video. Shows all the details needed for a successful water pump replacement.
Thanks....
Watching idol! Dito na ako
Ingat po palagi God bless po❤️❤️❤️
Where do these normally leak coolant from?
Worn seals of the pump.
Weap hole
What was the car doing before you changed the pump
Coolant leak
As well I can make it like the transmission going out as well
im not a mechanic but the way that water pump look i will had replace the thermostat that it was right next to it just to avoid future problems with the cooling system
Does the Nissan Maxima 2019 need a machine to replace the water pump?
Mines leaking from the same place but after watching this video im going to just buy a bottle of stop leak and hope for the best
Stop leak was the reason that pump was stuck.

Hell no!! That shit will clog up heater core too.
Crazy...I am assuming they never changed out the coolant considering how hard it was to get the pump out. Nice work.
Thanks
