It's not directly how to change the pump, but all the pics in this guide will show you how to get access to the water pump.

There are ears on the pump itself which you wind the w/pump bolts into, they drive into the block which pulls the pump off. You need to break the seal on the pump before using them otherwise they will just break off and be of no use
