Since it would take many pages of instructions here on this venue, we should recommend you go to a car parts store or a public library and get an instruction manual to do the job.
(This task could be a coupe of hundred steps.)
The manuals often are published by :" Motor's", or "Chilton's" , or "Haynes".
There are several others.
God bless your efforts.
Hello, Cyndi -
If you reside in the USA, your local public library system probably subscribes to databases of automobile repair manuals. Your taxpayer dollars at work!
First, you will need a valid library borrower card to be able to sign into your library account and access the right car repair manual for your vehicle and print the pages you need. If you need help in doing that, telephone the library and ask a reference / information librarian to give you instructions on how to do it over the phone.
If you do not hold a valid library borrower card, you will need to go to your local public library and apply for one. You will probably need valid photo ID, like your driver's license plus other proof of your residential address, such as an electric bill, or TV service (cable or satellite) bill. While you are at the library, ask a reference / information librarian to "walk" you through how to access the auto repair manual database and how to find what you need.
If you do not know where your local public library is located or do not know the phone number, you can find that information by using your favorite search engine and entering the following search phrase, using quotation marks as shown:
"City Name, State" "public library"
Example: "Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin" "public library"
One of the first results will probably the link to the library home page from which you can find the library address, phone number, and hours of service.
Best wishes.

You locate the heater core by following the heater hoses in the engine compartment. These hoses need to be disconnected. Then, working inside the passenger compartment, take off all of the control panel. You'll see screws underneath if you lie on your back. The only trick is to pop out the vent louvers -- just pop them out with a screw driver. There are screws behind them. Take out the glove box. Take off the heater outlet duct and the heater core cover. Pull the heater core straight back to avoid breaking the drain tube. Remove some clamps and that's it.

Drain the coolant first. Use an 18 mm box wrench on the serpentine belt tensioner to relieve tension and take off the belt. (On some models, you might need to remove a motor mount or loosen and push aside the power steering pump.) Now you are ready to remove all the bolts. Remove the pump. Scrape away all remnants of the old gasket. If some of the bolts are corroded, you had better replace them or they might break next time you change the pump. Apply gasket sealer to the new gasket. I always apply some gasket sealer near the head on the bolts to protect them from water, but I don't know if it does any good. Screw it all back on; there are some mating posts so you get it aligned right. Turn every bolt a little at a time in turn or you will make one side of the gasket thinner than the other. Rifill the radiator with new coolant. You should be good to go. But check for leaks.
Here is a series of videos, which I hope works similar to your car:

Water Pump - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are
attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink
any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground.
This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant
into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is
contaminated or several years old.
1987-95 Vehicles
EXCEPT
1995 VIN 1 ENGINE
On some engines, removing the alternator provides better clearance
for removing the water pump. For alternator removal and installation
procedures, please refer toin
this repair guide.
On some engines, when you remove the 13mm bolts, coolant will flow
from the bolt holes, so make sure to position a drain pan under the pump
before unfastening the bolts.
