HAVE GOOD RUBBER STRAP WRENCH TO HOLD THE WATER PUMP PULLY.(I purchased mine at Lowes for $14). Facing the front of the engine place the strap wrench around the pully and tighten,place a large end wrench or crescent wrench on big nut of the water pump shaft and turn the nut counter clockwise.

Go to your nearest auto parts store and rent a fan removal tool. They charge your card but reverse the charges when you bring the tool back. Turn the nut counter clockwise facing the truck.

trying the rentatool at advance and their stamped tool was slipping on big nut because it was not thick enough or tempered hard enough to hold. But it was a good suggestion it just was sorry tools.

My sister ran water, and let her water pump rust apart. If you really work on your own vehicles, people, you have to be prepared to do a complete job. Like flushing system, new hoses, thermostat, new radiator, cooling fan. Did just that on my 1999 Saturn.

I just did this project ... The tool you rent is evil and hard to use... I bought a strip of the thick metal strap with holes in it from the hardware store. I bolted one end of the strap to the pulley bolt the other end to the ac brace sticking up on the left side and you have all the counter strength you need to remove the fan clutch bolt. I used the same process in reverse. Best $7.00 I ever spent.
