it's quite easy.


remove the fan shroud and the electric fan.
loosen the bolt (15mm) on the idler pulley right below the power steering unit.
then loosen the adjuster bolt (13mm) on the power steering unit.
remove belt.
remove both 15mm bolts that go through the power steering unit into the waterpump.
remove 4 (13mm) bolts on the waterpump belt pulley and remove pulley. might have to use a block of wood and hit with a hammer to pop it off.
remove lower rad hose either from waterpump or radiator, whichever one is easier to get to the spring clamp.
remove 4 bolts holding the waterpump to the block. use a catch pan/pail to collect any coolant.
clean all old gasket from block. stuff hole in block with rag.
use waterpump RTV on both sides of gasket and install waterpump in reverse order.
fill rad with 50/50 coolant.
run and check for leaks.
