It is best to buy a Haynes manual. You can pick one up at Advance Auto for $16.00. It has the complete procedure with pictures.

When you replace the waterpump (on some models) you have to lift the engine up to remove the waterpump pulley, so if you don't have a cherry picker or equivelent, you would need to rent one.
Also make sure the WP replacement has 2 Orings, one for the block and one for the housing.
