My water pump has siezed. I recently purchased a new one and after looking under the bonnet i can't really see the easiest way of removing the old one and replacing it with the new one. What is the fastest and easiest way of doing this?

Remove the two bolts at the top of the fan shroud, disconnect the wiring to the fans and remove the shroud.

Put a 3/8 driver into the square socket in the drive belt tensioner (pulley) and turn clockwise against the spring tension, then lift off the drive belt.

Remove the lower radiator hose from the water pump, remove four bolts and pull the pump squarely and carefully forward away from the heater pipe.
