Remove serpentine belt
Remove any components obstructing any bolts on water pump
Ensure coolant cach container is in position because your engine coolant will come out
Remove any hoses from pump (if they are stuck on you can stick something under where hose attaches to pump and this will help fee up the seal). You may also have to remove pulley (easier to loosen bolts while serpentine belt is on).
Make sure bolts are re-installed in same position (you can put them in bolt holes of new pump then swap them to old pump before installing new part).
After removing pump (you may need to pry old pump off) clean all old gasket material off engine mating surface (scraper, flat screwdriver, die grinder are all tools that can be used).
Use brake cleaner on both engine and new pump mating surfaces to ensure they are clean, then use black silicone (or equal sealant) on both the engine and new pump (both sides of gasket).
After applying silicone install new pump on engine and place bolts in to hold it in position
Install bolts hand tight
USE PROPER TORQUE SEQUENCE AND SPEC TO TIGHTEN BOLTS- DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN BOLTS BECAUSE IT CAN DAMAGE GASKET.
Re-install all other parts and properly fill cooling system.

Install the new thermostat, reattach the housing and hose, refill the coolant, and reconnect the battery.
