There pretty easy you drain the coolant put a floor jack under the oil pan with a piece of wood.The n remove the air box and upper mount.Jack the motor up some then loosen the water pump pulley bolts then ten remove the belt.Then remove the water pump pulley ten remove the upper timing belt cover.There are reverse torx bolts holding the pump on so you should get a set of those sockets before starting the job.Also after removing the bolts the pumps sometimes are stuck.Lightly tap the pump with a hammer to break it loose also rinse the coolant off the belt right away after changing the pump with water.
