You first have to separate the motor from the pump chamber. Remove the impeller carefully, it usually unscrews opposite direction of rotation. (Be careful with the ceramic seal inside pump chamber, it's delicate. ) When the motor is separate, unscrew the end with contacts and carefully pull this aside.

-Whenever I do this job, I always replace BOTH bearings. For a bearing cost usually less than $15 it doesn't make sense to commit all this labour to change only the faulty bearing. (the other may go in a month or two then you repeat all the labour ) Pull both bearings and carefully insert both NEW bearings. Re-assemble everything in opposite order. Fit new gasket on pump chamber. Screw pump chamber together doing opposing screws after each other (imagine 6 screws in a circle, loosely do all 6 then tighten 1 then 3, then 5, then 2, then 4 etc. This way the gasket will be even as opposed to tight on one side (if it's a Jet-pump this is VERY important ! )

How can you tell if your water pump is bad on a 1995 camaro?

1 A seal protects the water pump impeller shaft bearing from contamination by engine coolant. If this seal fails, a weep hole in the water pump will leak coolant. If the weep hole is leaking, shaft bearing will follow. Replace the water pump immediately. 2 The water pump impeller shaft bearing can prematurely wear because its mechanically driven. When the bearing is worn it will squeal and it needs replaced don't confuse it with belt sequel though.

Could you give me some useful tips how to maintain water pumps?

Make sure the seal between water pump and engine is not leaking. The seal protects the the bearing on the water pump impeller shaft from contamination's from the coolant. IF water is leaking out of the weep hole on the water pump snout, A small amount of gray discoloration is normal, a wet area with brown discoloration means the seal has failed. Replace pump immediately. The water pump impeller shaft bearing may prematurely wear out, if the pump is noisey during normal engine operation, the bearing has failed. Replace pump immediately ( no not get confused with belt noise, loose or glazed belts will emit a high pitched squealing noise.). To see excessive wear in bearing before it fails, with belt off, grasp and shake from side to side and up and down,, If it can be moved in either direction, then replace water pump.
