Remove water pump as per instructions in pictures re-fit and torque bolts to 20Nm you can re-use saved coolant if still in date. Always pressure test and check for leaks after bleeding system.

The printed instructions are pretty sparse. Basically, it just says to drain the coolant, remove the belts, remove the bolts, then remove the water pump. Remove the radiator shroud if necessary.
