Default Water pump replacement procedure

Hello everyone,
I have searched for the step by step water pump replacement procedure. I cannot find it. I know that some of you have replaced your water pump. I haven't searched the Toob University yet. I was hoping I could find the answer here.
Any ideas?

I think I followed his instructions and it was fine if a little messy. Didn't take long to do either which was good as I needed the car.

Isn't there one bolt that is extra long or something and might shear? I gave each one a whack with a hammer before removing just in case. Steel into aluminium isn't it?

Torque figure is quite low at 8 Nm + 90°.
I assumed that was for new bolts, so I just did 8Nm on the replace. Not sure if they're 'stretch' bolts & didn't want to break anything...
