Best Answer

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Properly drain the cooling system into an approved container. 3. Remove all accessory drive belts or the serpentine belt. 4. Remove the alternator and bracket. 5. Unscrew the water pump pulley mounting bolts and then pull off the pulley. 6. Unfasten the mounting bolts, then remove the water pump. 7. Using a putty knife, clean the gasket mounting surfaces.

ALSO: on most vehicles you should take off the alternator as well, that way it will release the belt from getting in your way of removing the water pump.
