hi,
I just changed the water pump last weekend.  It wasn't too hard to get the
pump all unbolted, but it was like a puzzle trying to pull it out of the van
because of the one cross-over coolant pipe.

If you are going to change your thermostat too, be careful separating the
housing from the water pump, the bolts on mine broke and it had to be
re-drilled with a larger size.
bye,
