It's a real pain in the neck. You have to remove your timing belt cover, and fan belts just to get to the pump bolts. Once you get all of that off then you can get to the pump. You'll have to remove the pump pulley before you can remove it. I'd suggest you loosen the bolts holding the pulley on before you take anything else loose. Once you have them loose, you can proceed with taking the belts off and then all of the timing cover bolts and the harmonic balancer. Of course you know to drain the radiator before you start. The big bolt on the harmonic balancer is a 17mm in case you're wondering. That is if you have the 1.3 four cylinder. This is if you have the 1.0 three cylinder.
Unload alternator. Remove crank pulley from underneath. Remove timing belt cover. Remove timing belt. I've read that this is an interference design engine. Putting the timing belt on wrong could slam the valves into the pistons when you start it. This is a great time to replace the timing belt
