Firstly, the water pump itself is identical to any other Chevy 350 v-8 water pump from the 70s. If you know about auto engines already, there's no big secret or surprise. If not, please read on. It's always a good idea to have someone who knows about cars help you. Start by taking a picture or mental note of what the engine looks like before removing parts. Have something handy to hold all the hardware and keep it from getting misplaced (I can't tell you how many essential nuts/bolts I've lost by not doing this) First, undo the lower radiator hose and drain the coolant into a clean pan (1-2 gallons) Using a clean pan helps you put the coolant back and not waste it. Then, remove the nuts that hold the fan and water pump pulley together. Take the fan and pulley out from their place. Before continuing, make sure it's the water pump. An easy way to do this is to grab hold of the studs where the fan bolted on and try to make it wiggle. If it does, you know that the pump is bad. Next, unbolt the water pump and remove. Reverse this process to install new one. Hope that helps! -ku2002
