KA24E 14055/14055M Waterhose Replacement

[RustyShackleford]

Hi guys. I don't know if y'all need this but I couldn't find any support for this issue so I decided to make a short and simple write up to help anyone out there with the same problem. This deals with a leak from a hose located under the intake manifold, 14055 and 14055M.

Tools required.Decent wrench set.ScrewdriverJack and jackstands Drain panPliersMarkerBungee cord

Parts: 14055 (7 bucks) and 14055M (3 bucks) these price are from courtesyparts.com

1. Pop the radiator cap off and twist off the drain plug at the bottom driver's side. TWIST DON'T PULL that's why mines is effed up I tried pulling it off with pliers. That was a stupid move especially since I've done it before for the water pump and thermostat. Place the drain pan under and let the fluids drain. 2. Go ahead and remove the bolts marked and in red and remove the intake and use the pliers to take off the clamps on the intake. 3. Remove the clamp at the bottom passenger's side with a flathead screw driver just like for the top rad hose. (Sorry you can't see the clamp because I decided to do this write up halfway through the process of removing everything.)4. When you're about to pull the radiator out BE CAREFUL of the hoses because you might pull them out. Now would be the time TO MARK THE HOSES WITH A MARKER. These are located under the opening of the intake by the power steering pump. If you do pull them out don't worry the next pictures will tell you where the hoses go. 5. Going from left to right. Hose number 1 goes to the charcoal canister next to the airbox. Number 2 goes to a hose running along the frame under the charcoal canister and between the exhaust manifold. Number 3 goes to the air intake. 6. Now remove the 4 bolts holding the fan on. It should be 4 - 10MM bolts. 7. Now loose the belt tensioner on the drivers side pulley. Loosen the red one first but not completely and then slowly loosen the blue bolt and the bolt should start to lose tension. If it doesn't it helps to just push on the belt a little. 8. Now you don't have to take off the lines for power steering just get a bungee cord and hang it, make sure the lines don't kink or bend. There's 4 bolts to loosen. 1 on top and 3 on the front of the pump. 9. Rotate the pulley until the openings match with the bolts and loosen. 10. I don't have picture for this but just loosen the clamps and replace the hoses. It's a little tricky but you'll be able to do it. I mean my hands are kinda big and I can do it. Just use some open ended wrenches instead of a screw driver. After you get the parts off clean the clamps with degreasing agent and tighten them. Good luck guys I'm actually not done with the replacement yet I'm waiting on the parts.
