Never did a water pump on that vehicle, but whenever I am going to do a job I have never done before I just jump into it and take things off when they need to. If it’s in the way, take it off. Don’t be afraid of taking things off and trying things out.

I’d suggest it is time to head to ebay and see if you can purchase a copy of the Factory Service Manual. The Factory Service Manual doesn’t always have the best way of doing something but at least it is a way and if you follow it you should succeed.

It looks like a lot of things need to be removed from the front end to gain access to it. Attached is a copy of Water Pump Removal instructions, see if you can extract some info and take shortcuts.
