Hola!

This comes from the service manual:

WATER PUMP

Removal

1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system. Loosen drive belt tensioner, and remove drive belt. Raise and support vehicle. Remove lower radiator hose. Remove lower nut on both front engine mounts. Lower vehicle. Remove generator. Position drain pan under power steering pump.
2. Using Fuel Line Separator (T90T-9550-S), disconnect power steering pressure line from power steering pump. Remove power steering pump filler cap. Disconnect necessary coolant hoses.

Attach lifting eye to front exhaust manifold. Attach engine lift to lifting eye and lift front of engine 2" (51 mm).
***You can either do this or raise the engine by loosening the engine mount bolts and using a floor jack***

3. Remove water pump pulley. Remove drive belt tensioner pulley from power steering pump bracket. Remove power steering pump bracket with power steering pump attached, and position aside. Remove water pump bolts and nuts. Note bolt location. Note if sealant is applied to bolt threads. Remove water pump and gasket.
CAUTION: When bolt is removed, note if sealant is applied to threads. Some bolts are coated with sealant to prevent coolant leakage.

Installation

1. Install gasket using Gasket and Trim Adhesive (D7AZ-19B508-B). To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Lightly oil threads of bolt and stud not containing thread sealant.
2. If bolts originally contained thread sealant, clean and reapply thread sealant to bolts. Tighten bolts and nuts to specification (15-22 ft lbs). Fill cooling system.

Tough part is lifting that end of the motor.
Reason, if you look at the pump location, there is a unibody frame member inline with where the pump needs to go, you need to lift the motor enough to get the water pump shaft to clear that unibody frame member.
