Just re use the coolant, no reason to throw it away. How old is that water pump? If you are going through the trouble of taking it off go ahead and put in a new one.

idk how old it is ive never changes it and i have put 60k miles on it, and i lost all the new coolant, due to the leaky pump, i thought it was just the rad leakn but apperently its both! it has good flow tho! so idk

If its leaking just replace it. Like said above it only costs about $30. Just reuse all of the old bolts if they look good, just be sure to use some sealer on the bolts otherwise they may leak.

Its not hard at all, just time consuming, just go slow and take pics if you have to.

Yeah, I used thread locker blue on the water pump bolts, also went with FelPro gaskets and not the ones that come with the water pump. Get the bolt kit I mentioned earlier, it is only $5 dollars, they are the bolts that assemble the fan cluth/fan together wit the water pump.
