2002 GS - replace water pump

[1quick6]

How much of a pain is it to change the water pump in a 2002 Regal GS? I looked around on the 'net for a bit but couldn't find any walk-throughs so I could gauge it.

Cripes. I am one bolt away from having it out, but the power steering pump pulley is in the way so the bolt won't slide out. I see no way to remove this pulley. Is there a special driver bit you need?

Bah, nevermind. The power steering pump had to come off. That was a bear getting the ps pump back on by myself! What a pain this job was, but at least it is 90% done now. I have to put the supercharger belt on tomorrow.

Thanks for reading my garage diary for tonight.

Just recently did the same on my Riviera, after putting the the WP in I realized that the front cover was also leaking. Had to rip it apart again to fix that. I had help to do it or it would still be broken.
NEVER AGAIN, I WOULD CRUSH IT OR GIVE IT AWAY.
