I have a manual transmission 99 coupe.
The water pump drops down and out.
You have to back some bolts off but not all the way out to get clearance.
A great video(s) can be found on Renntech's site for both the thermostat and water pump removal and
replacement.
If I remember correctly, the bottom hose removal is not easy to slide off and you have to really
pull on it. One of the bolts holding the pump is difficult to get to without a 3/8 swivel and socket.
The gasket is razor thin and covers both stat and pump.
I know I am going to get some static for this but I put in a Napa re-built ($130.00) and
now have 17K miles on the pump with no trouble.
