pretty basic really, all u gotta do is take the radiator fan off and then its jus a matter of unboltin the pump off and jus use some of that gasket in a tube stuff to seal it. Dunno if the Cam belt will get in the way though, still if u got a hoist it should be easy as, jus remember to drain the radiator first

you need to take the cam belt off..

in order:

1. rad fan

2. radiator

3. fan belts

4. crank pulley

5. cam covers

6. cam belt tensioner (you can get away with just pulling it back)

7. cam belt

8. water pump

reinstall in reverse order.. (i hope i haven't forgotten anything)

cheers,
