Remove radiator(possibly thermostat housing)
Remove alternator
Remove fan(ensure this goes on the correct way)
Remove fan belt (change along with the thermostat and water pump)
Flush system

Rebuild :)

Drain coolant, remove rad, fan, flush the sstem. unbolt waterpump you may need to tighten the bolts for this then loosen, tighten, loosen etc to get them out. clean off the old gasket.

Nothing unexpected, drain coolant, take radiator out, fan and pulley off then water pump off. Worth replacing the bypass hose and the bottom hose depending condition and age as it's easy to get to with the radiator out and the fan off
