water pump hoses

[MALLEN11050]

I am replacing my water pump on 1990 E250/ 5.8 . I forgot which hose is heater and which is the bypass connection on pump?

Normally the heater goes to the heater,the bypass is a short hose that goes to the front of the engine.

1. Drain the cooling system.

CAUTIONWhen draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.

1. If necessary, remove the air cleaner assembly, intake duct and crankcase ventilation hose.
2. Remove the radiator.
3. Remove the drive belt, fan shroud, fan clutch and pulley.
