Hi,

As far as what is needed is concerned, you will need a new pump, which should come with a new gasket. Additionally, you will need to drain the old coolant, so new coolant is needed as well.

This is a great time to replace the radiator hoses if needed. Inspect them to see if there is evidence of wear or damage.

To help, I attached the directions below for replacing one on this vehicle. Also, here is a link that you may also find helpful:

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
