Default Water pump

I have to change mine. The good thing, is I have the use of a lift. The bad thing, is it looks like a REAL PITA. Is it as hard as it looks?? Any directions or tips short of take it to a so-called professional, that anyone can give me??

Get the throttle body, belt, and hoses off and it won't look so hard.

That' s great to hear. I have my car on a lift right now, looking at it from underneath makes it a little intimidating.
