piece of pi** mate the short version!!

1 remove the slam panel
2 remove the rad and fan etc
3 remove fan belt will require shorter belt 825 or 835 etc
4 undo the pipes to interior matrix (big nut large pipe and other small pipe)
5 disconnect canister next to rad on the passenger side
6 remove the electrical connector on pump
7 remove four pump mounting bolts
8 remove pump and piping
9 undo pump bracket ( heavy metal bracket on side of engine)
10 remove link brackets (one or two forgotten!)
11. fit new belt
12 and reassemble in reverse order
if you have the lower plastic cover you,ll need to remove these to gain access
i think that it.
