5ktq Water pump R&R???

[Bernard Littau]

I need to do my water pump, but not the timing belt or tensioner, on
my '88 5ktq MC engine.

Can this reasonably be done without pulling much of the front of the car apart?

I'm on my second timing belt, so I've done the remove bumper,
intercooler and center section path several times.

[I did my HVAC blower motor last winter, and had drained the coolant. 
After I finished the blower motor I did a quick refill with water to
test that job, then left the car for some further work and got caught
in a freeze, the water pump has been compromised ever since.]

Thanks,
