The entire project is very involved, so a step-by-step guide is about impossible. I’ll try my best though!

Many parts need to be removed to have clear access to the radiator, water pump, and coolant connectors. Start by safely supporting your vehicle on jack stands of ramps. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

In this picture I have removed the entire intake box, rubber intake boot, electric cooling fan and main intake tubing.


Other angles of the exposed radiator.



Next I removed the AC belt, and main serpentine belt to gain access to the water pump and pulley. The four main pully bolts were simple to remove, as long as the belt was still attached.


Here’s a pic of the old pump, after the pulley was removed.


Unfortunately I tapped the pully with a rubber mallet and it broke the pulley. I was not expecting the pulley to be plastic. Be careful! I eventually just pulled the pulley off by hand.
