How do you put a water pump on a 1997 Ford Probe?

To install a water pump on a 1997 Ford Probe, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the serpentine belt, then drain the coolant and take off the engine covers as needed. Unbolt the water pump from the engine block, replace the gasket, and install the new pump in reverse order, making sure to tighten all bolts to the specified torque. Finally, refill the coolant, reconnect the battery, and check for leaks after starting the engine.
