This section is necessary to repair the water pump, right wheel motor, or beater bar. It can be skipped in most other repairs.

Remove the two silver 7mm screws from the side trim panel, and the two silver 7mm screws from the water pump retention clip.

Lift out the water pump, being aware of the water lines coming from the side and running underneath it, and place it into the dust bin area (if not replacing).

If replacing the water pump, remove the two water hoses from their barb connectors, unplug the motor from the motherboard, and remove.
