2003 Corolla Water Pump - Auto Repair

Before going out and loading up the parts cannon, ALWAYS confirm what you suspect! Having heard the noise from this 2003 Toyota Corolla, I was in agreement with the owner that the alternator bearings had likely given up the ghost. I told him , however, that I want to make absolutely sure before buying parts. We live in a crazy world where you do NOT want to buy electronic parts without being absolutely sure that what you're replacing is what failed. In most cases you can NOT return anything electrical or electronic.
 As you can see in this video, confirming the failure of a suspected part, saved a trip to the parts store. It also saved the hassle of attempting a parts return, potentially saving money before work even gets started. The title tells some of the story. 
 Come along with me while the owner watches over, as I take on this repair, on the spot. If you need to do this job yourself, watch all the way through so you'll pick up on the tips and tricks that experience has taught me over the years... ALWAYS make yourself the room to work! Trying to do less is usually more difficult, so move obstacles out of the way.

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
