Hey Hula1123,

Drain cooling system. Loosen alternator pivot bolt, swing unit toward engine and remove drive belt. On A/C equipped models, remove fan shroud. Remove fluid coupling with fan, water pump pulley and drive belt.
Remove water outlet housing, by-pass pipe, water inlet housing, thermostat, timing belt upper cover and oil dipstick tube. Disconnect heater outlet hose from pipe and remove heater outlet pipe mounting bolt. Remove water pump.

To install water pump, mount heater outlet pipe, with new gasket, to pump. Place new "O" ring gasket on clean block surface and mount pump. Install new "O" ring onto dipstick tube and mount to block.
To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Adjust tension of drive belts, fill coolant system, start engine and check for leaks.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken
