the water pump is driven by the cambelt so you will need to remove the belt for access then the pump will be accessible being held on by a few bolts

The timing belt has to be taken off to change the pump. Might as well put a new one on at same time .

best way is to remove starter motor and hold the flywheel in place with a a lever bar wedged in the teeth,if you hold the pump in place with water pump pliers you can loosen the nut that way
