Water pump is driven by the timing belt. So, follow the instructions for replacing the timing belt. You WILL want to replace the belt too. Will also need new coolant, because you'll be pulling the radiator out as well.

If you have to drive it to work tomorrow...i suggest downloading a factory service manual....google "toyota factory service manual .pdf" find one thats same version of your truck.
Then hustle your butt down to autozone...get a belt, pump, coolant, etc....and get to cracking some wrenches.

Hopefully, the year of your parts truck is close to what you drive. The fan brackets changed on the 'newer' 3.0s.

The water pump is NOT behind the fan clutch. Sounds like the pulley seized. If your water pump seized, it would overheat rather quickly. I know.

Here's a link to the 93 fsm. Hope it helps.

I just did mine, change timing belt, idler, thermostat, and I also changed the tensioner, mine was hydraulic, I think the 92's and earlier for 3.0 were mechanical tensioner.

Since this doubles as a timing belt cover, you almost have to follow part of the procedure for changing the timing belt. You may or may not be able to do this without removing the radiator, but it would help immensely.

That's exactly it wasn't sure before so this is just a pulley not anything internal like waterpump water pump is contained behind the circle to the right of the pulley right
