As for a water pump, any replacement pump from a chain store works fine. It should come with a gasket too. First drain as much coolant as you can.For the pump you just loosen the pulley bolts(with the belt still on so it doesn't spin on you) then pull the belt off and remove the pulley. Remove all the bolts that hold the water pump on and smack the snout of the old pump with a deadblow hammer. It should come right off. Then THOROUGHLY scrape all the old gasket material off, install a new gasket, put the pump on and bolt it back in with ultra copper rtv on the bolts that go through the water jackets. Re-install the pulley with the bolts on loosly, install the belt and then tighten the pulley bolts.For the rad you just unbolt and remove the fan/shroud, remove the hoses(prepare for a mess), unbolt the rad and lift it right out. Install the new one in reverse order. Pour in new coolant, burp the system and take it for a test drive.</blockquote>
