Gravity pumped out washer of remaining water. layed the machine on it's front to work from underside.remove water pump retaining clips pry off old water pump to get at rear motor retaining clips. remove sheet metal screws holding motor retaining clips remove clips. unplug motor and lift off motor from transmission replace both plastic pieces of drive coupling and rubber joiner. replace coupling parts and re-assemble with new water pump. i highly recommend replacing water pump with coupling change as it will most likely be seized onto motor. good luck!
