Remove the right inner splash shield.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
Place a drain pan under the radiator drain plug. Drain and properly contain the cooling system.

WARNING
With the timing belt removed, DO NOT rotate the camshaft or crankshaft, or damage to the engine could occur.
Remove the rear timing belt cover to access the water pump.
