You need to drain radiator, remove fan assembly, belt(s) and pulley then unbolt pump from the block. Make sure you have gasket sealer when you purchase waterpump for reassembly.
Didn't specify what engine but if its the 4 cyl water pump is pulley driven from a belt and is easily seen and changed. If you have the 6 cylinder you will be going into the timing chains as the pump is driven by a chain. Not a do-it-yourself job.
check the operation of the fans, since the radiator was recently replaced, it is posible they may not be plugged in correctly or operating like they should, if they look good, look into the water pump, with the work that u already did the only this left to look at after the water pump is the intake or head gasket, any water in oil or vice versa? look into that if all else fails....
A timing belt will no blow up the engine, however it will on occasion bend the valves, you will need to replace the belt and test for damage to the engine. Change the water pump and check all the pulleys while you are in there.
