First, drain the radiator coolant by removing the drain plug on the underside of the radiator. Disengage the ducts, hose, fan, clutch, and belt attached to the water pump. Then, separate the water pump from the block and discard the two gaskets that will be revealed. Prepare the new water pump by cleaning the edges and attaching new gaskets with a high temperature automotive sealant. Install the new water pump and secure. Replace the belt, clutch, fan, hose, and ducts as well. Reconnect the drain plug and fill with coolant, then rejoin the negative cable to the battery.
