Good afternoon,
If you have no flow to the core, then you either have clogged hoses or a bad water pump. Was the coolant level topped off when you removed the hoses?
Does the car overheat?

1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Drain cooling system See: Cooling System > Procedures > Cooling System - Standard Procedures.
3. If water pump is being replaced, do not unbolt fan blade assembly from thermal viscous fan drive.
4. Remove two fan shroud-to-radiator screws. Disconnect the coolant overflow hose.
5. Remove upper fan shroud and fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly from vehicle.
6. After removing fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly, do not place thermal viscous fan drive in horizontal position. If stored horizontally, silicone fluid in viscous fan drive could drain into its bearing assembly and contaminate lubricant.

8. Remove lower radiator hose clamp and remove lower hose at water pump.
9. Remove seven water pump mounting bolts and one stud bolt.
