I have a 1997 Rodeo so I'm not sure it is the same, but if your waterpump is located under the timing belt cover like mine is and is driven by the timing belt ...
1) Remove the upper fan shroud
2) Remove the (4) nuts then the cooling fan assembly
3) Remove the power steering drive belt
4) Remove the air conditioning compressor drive belt
5) Remove the generator drive belt
6) Remove the fan pulley assembly
7) Remove the crankshaft pulley
8) Remove the oil cooler hose
9) Remove the timing belt cover
10) Remove the timing belt pusher
11) Mark where the timing belt is currently seated in the cam and crankshaft gears (be real sure you know what you are doing here!!!)
12) Remove the timing belt
13) Drain the radiator
14) Remove the waterpump
Testimonial: "I am going to try these steps, then I will leave my feedback tomorrow Thanks Tina."
If you send me your email, I will be more than happy to discuss additional tips. I have changed the belt on my Rodeo twice now, and once on my son's Rodeo. The task does feel difficult at first, but really isn't that bad.
