Start by removing all of the components that are in the way of removing the pump. Then you pull the pump off and replace it with a new or rebuilt unit. Be sure to put the gasket on correctly and use gasket sealer to make sure it seals well. Then the rest of the installation is the opposite of removal.

Disconnect the battery. Tale off the serpentine belt. Next remove the bolts for the water pump and detach any hoses connected. Drain fluids and catch securely. If fluid is in good condition, you can use it after pump is replaced. Then unbolt the water pump. Install is the reverse.

On a lot of GM cars you remove the Accessory belt, maybe the cooling fan. If This is an older v8 there will be 4 bolts holding it in.

Please try to remove the fan belt and try to notice the water pump, please remove the bolts which are presented and now try to fit a new one.

Consult a mechanic or online forum to receive detailed advice on changing your water pump. You will need to know the year and make of your Oldsmobile.
