it aint that hard jeff, remove the belt with a 18" socket, remove the 1 hose that sits behind the turbo, remove the radiator hose that goes to the water pump, remove the bolts to the water pump and clean the threads off with parts cleaner, apply thread sealer to the 4 longer bolts from the water pump, apply a small (light bead) of silicone just to hold the gasket in place so it doesnt move on you while installing it, reconnect hoses and adjust the coolant level and your done......i forgot to mention if you have a stock location intercooler it might have to come off as well
