rain radiator of coolant, remove serpentine belt and remove pulley on water pump. If the pulley has 4 little bolts on it then loosen and pull the pulley off. If there are no bolts on the outside of the pulley then its pressed on, you can remove it yourself with a blowtorch but its hard to get off and on correctly. Remove the bolts holding the pump on and pry the pump off the engine, this will be hard most likely due to the gasket holding the pulley to the eingine. There will be coolant that will come out due to coolant you couldn't drain by the radiator...just have a container under car to catch coolant. Once removed scrape all the old gasket material off the engine... there is a gasket remover tool but a razor blade workls just fine. Once removed clean area well and apply gasket to new pump with gasket sealer and place pump back onto engine. Tighten bolts and replace pulley and belt, fill with coolant and top off as needed. be sure to purge the coolant systemof air after any major coolant work. The repair is relatively easy as loong as you have the right sockets for the job...good luck!
