Water Pump Removal
Removal:
Disconnect battery ground cable and drain coolant from engine.
Loosen water pump idler pulley bolt and remove belt from water pump pulley.
Remove water pump inlet tube.
Remove three water pump retaining bolts and water pump, Fig. 16.
Installation:
Clean both gasket mating surfaces on water pump and cylinder block.
Install three water pump retaining bolts and tighten to 20-30 N-m (15-22 ft-lbs).
Connect water pump inlet tube on water pump.
Install water pump belt on pulley and adjust tension to specification.
Connect battery ground cable.
Replace engine coolant. Operate engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Check for leaks and recheck coolant level.
Couldn't get the picure but this should help, the pump is located on the backside of the engine, just be carefull, this engine is really easy to get the pulley on backwards then the belt won't line up right.

The post above me is right on just take your time and make the bolts tight but don't over do it . Flush out before install of new pump. good luck
