Which engine you got? V8 if I'm guessing right?

The crank pulley that covers the bottom bolt is held on with 8 torx head bolts, just use a socket and ratchet, easy. Just be careful that the 2 metal pipes that go to the rear from the top of the waterpump disconnect only at the waterpump side, otherwise you have a fun time getting them back in with the possibility of torn o-rings that you can't easily get to. (I use a shot of penetrating lube at the front o-rings to help loosen them up before removing)

Also, if you have the water cooled alternator, get the black rubber coated pipe that goes from the pump to the alt as well, it is cheap and prone to leaking if not replaced with either component.

But from the sound of it you know your way around with the tools, and this shouldn't be too hard a task for ya.
