ok..first you remove the fan shroud if its on there. drain your coolant from your radiator.then remove radiator.once that's done remove the fan blades...usually 4 bolts..once the blades are removed, remove pulley ,remove all hoses from water pump(that's what the fan blades are bolted to).then you remove the 4 bolts holding the pump. the pump will come off. make sure you clean off all of the old gasket on engine block......apply a thin layer of hi temp silicon on the new gasket, bolt on the new water pump snug the bolts tight.attach your hoses to water pump, replace the pulley then attach the fan blades....reinstall radiator and attach radiator hoses....fill up radiator with coolant.....start up engine...add coolant...it will drop.....once you fill it with coolant and it stops purging, your radiator will be full....check for leakes..if you don't have leaks....reinstall fan shroud and you are done!!!
