Locate your water pump, locate the idler wheel. The idler wheel will release the tension of your belt so you can get your water pump off. There should be about 3 bolts holding your pump on and an in and out hose. You will need a bucket to catch the water. Remove the pump and replace with the new pump. Reattach the hoses, restring your belt, tighten the belt at the idler that you loosened to get the belt off. Refill your antifreeze/water to the specifications in your manual and you are ready. Recheck fluid levels after you have started it for a few seconds and top off if needed. MAKE SURE TO DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING WORK
drain coolant-remove upper radiator hose-loosen fan bolts '4 bolts attaching it to the water pump'-remove serpentine belt-finish uninstalling the fan- remove 2 bolts securing the fan shroud to the radiator and it should slide out with the fan-remove pump 'be sure to clean the mating surface of the block before sealing with silicone and gasket to ensure it doesn't leak'
reverse the process for installation.
NOTE: if I were you, id replace the timing belt while your in there since the timing cover is nearly impossible to get off without doing this same procedure.
