Water pump replacement

For anything gen 4 you probably want to read through the whole thread that comes up with this search:

site:priuschat.com "oh hell yes can they be serious" - Google Search

I suppose now the next time Google crawls, there will be two threads. Oh well....

 

Info attached. Note, it's a cobbled "edition", sorted alphabetically, so "install" proceeds "removal".

 

I will here offer just a mild gentle hint that if you just look at the PDF file Mendel attached, and you don't read through the thread linked to in post #2, you may end up wishing you had read the linked thread.

At the risk of over-hinting, the step numbered "1." on page 18 of that PDF is where you might end up wishing that.

I believe they just loosen/remove the engine mount at the "front" of engine mount (at right side of engine, the end with the belt-less pulley).

 

That's a bit of a revision... looks like a good reason to delete that PDF and break all links to it.
