How do I replace the water pump of a '98 Nissan Pathfinder?

I have a '98 Nissan Pathfinder but I have to put in a new water pump (the old one was removed by someone else, so I don't know where it was). Any IMAGES or MANUALS would be great, but I can't really do it if there are no pics.

This is very straight forward and easy to do. Just make sure you put the bolts back in the correct holes. That is, do not try and put a bolt that is too long in a hole where a short one goes. Do not overtighten bolts. Use a small amount of high grade silicone on both sides of each gasket. Just a trace is fine. It helps seal leaks and also helps hold the gasket in alignment when you set the pump. Make sure both surfaces are perfectly clean with no old gasket material. Do not tighten any of the bolts until all are in and then do it in a sequence, tightening them a small. Go from bolt to bolt, tightening them a bit at a time until you reach the correct torque as described in the EHOW descripton. You can do this just fine.
