Remove accessory belts.

Pull crank pulley.

Pull the timing belt covers.

Remove timing belt.

Remove water pump.

Replace water pump (gentle on the screws, only like ~12 lb-ft of torque required.)

Replace and retension timing belt.

Replace covers.

Attach crank pulley and belts.

Either use the specialized tool to hold the pulley or use an impact.



Third best would be tying off one of the accessory belts and using it to hold the pulley... this might work but will definately destroy the belt.
