Drain cooling system. Remove fan and shroud. Release tensioner and remove belt. Remove water pump pulley and water pump bolts, water pump, and o-ring.

Reverse to install the new pump. Lubricate the o-ring with antifreeze. Torque the mounting bolts to 15 - 22 foot pounds. Refill the cooling system.
