Okay. I am going to try my best to explain this, but please be careful because it is easy to miss something via the internet.
DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL BEFORE STARTING THIS PROCEDURE
1) Drain the cooling system and remove the hoses attached to the water pump. .
2) Remove the accessory belts.
3) If you have factory, remove the AC compressor from its solid mounting bracket but be careful with the hoses not to damage them.
4) Remove the alternator.
5) Remove the solid AC mount from the engine block.
6) Now remove the water pump retaining bolts.
7) Remove the pump then remove the belt pulley.
8) Replacement is the opposite of what I listed. NOTE: MAKE SURE TO CLEAN ALL OLD GASKET MATERIAL FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW ONE. THE SURFACE SHOULD BE CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE YOU REINSTALL THE NEW PUMP.
Let me know if you run into trouble.
Joe
