water pump

I have a 2002 Grand Prix GTP it is leaking coolant and it appears to be coming from the water pump. My question is what needs to be removed to replace it? It is really tight. Do I need to remove the power steering and supercharger? It just doesnt look like I can get it out.
 


You have tons of room there. Double check that it's the pump and not the plastic coolant elbow from the tensioner into the lower intake manifold. That elbow is pretty common.

Lower the ps pump by unbolting it. Two 13mm bolts are reached by going through the holes in the pulley at 12 and 6 oclock. Lower it gently because the oil pressure sender is below it. Don't want to hurt that. Then you should be able to get at it. Four bolts for the pulley, four 13mm and four (IIRC) 10mm and it's off.
