This site is too old and doesnt show the step by step. My pump is now leaking so it looks like replacement time. Anyone know of a current site with a step by step?
Here is a step by step instruction on how to do it.. I guess the hardess part is getting the large nut loose on the fan.. see:

Go to the post right above yours with the link. Click the link, it takes you to page 2, and go back to page one and then look at the 4th post down. Good instructions.
The only thing I can add is that I have split all the shrouds on my trucks when I do it. I split them top and bottom and get them out of the way, and then wire tie them back together when I am done. I use an air chisel or a wrench if I can find one for the fan.

I also had problems with removing the fan when I changed the water pump on my truck. But, when I replaced the pump on my dads truck, he had talked to a diesel mechanic, and he informed him of a simple way to get the fan off. He said to take an air chisel with the flat blade and place it toward one of the corners of the nut and squeeze the trigger and it will come right off. So I tried it and within 15 seconds I had his fan off. That trick worked like a charm for me. Hope this helps

ive been doing the air chisel trick for many years . i also will tighten the nut that way just at the end after doing as far as i could without. works good ive had mine off twice. 267k mi. this is the easiest water pump i think ever made to replace so you should have no problem i dont take the rad out.just the shroud . doing hoses, thermostat, belts,idler and tensioner good time?.

Going to be attempting this in a few hours for the first time. I think I am going to flush the coolant because I had to put in a gallon of tap water to get home last night- do I have to use distilled water or can I use tap water to flush? Plan on using the gold coolant.

This might be overkll but I cut the center out of the old t-stat and put it back in so I could get a good engine running full circulaton flush without having to wait for the t-stat to open. Did that once with tap water and a second time with distilled.
I didn't see this video link in the thread so here it is.
