How do you install a water pump? Also, what tools do you need?

you need just basic hand tools.if you have an air compressor and an air gun it would help alot,there are not your average water pump.these run off the timing chain,you have to take the front cover off and timing chain off as well as the exhaust manifold.these are very time consuming about 8-9 hrs,I've done a ton of these there not fun.post back with any other questions.
