Installing water pump '98 Blazer

Another victim of Dex-Cool. Can anyone tell me how to change the water pump in a '98 Blazer? Is there a website with an illustration of the engine? Thanks

you might want to try www.autozone.com enter your vehicle info, click repair info, vehicle repair guides, engine and engine overhaul, then on the right side select water pump. Usually the biggest pain is getting the fan clutch to spin off the water pump shaft.

Ah ha!!! Worked on getting the fan clutch off for a couple of hours. Then went to Murrays Auto Supply and rented the Ford Fan Clutch Wrench Set. It was off in less than a minute. Amazing. It works on Chevy even though it is made for Fords.
