Are these standard size parts or where is the best place to order them? We have the 8.1 GXi motor. I’ve never replaced a belt or pulley but it looks pretty straightforward!

Unclasp the clamps on the engine cover and pull it off the engine. Locate the tensioner pulley, identified by a large nut in the center of it, to relieve pressure on the serpentine belt. Place a socket and a breaker bar on the pulley nut. Turn the breaker bar downward against the spring pressure and slip off the serpentine belt. Note the routing configuration of the belt before pulling it off.
Place a drain pan directly under the the water pump -- the water pump mounts to the outside of the crankshaft pulley, low on the front of the engine. Use a screwdriver to loosen the inlet and outlet hoses on the water pump. Remember which hose goes to which neck fitting. Let the coolant drain into the pan. Push the hoses aside.
Use a socket to remove the two bolts that hold the bracket to the water pump housing then set the bracket aside. Use a large slotted screwdriver to loosen and remove the four screws that hold the water pump to the pulley. If they are frozen in place, spray penetrating oil on the screws and let them soak. After removing the water pump, turn it upside down. Remove the circular ring gasket from its groove. Clean the housing surface with carburetor cleaner and a gasket scraper, along with the mating surface on the pulley.
Look at the impeller inside the water pump and notice which way the rubber blades point. You need to install the new impeller in the same configuration. Pull the impeller out of the water pump housing. Gently sand the inside of the impeller chamber with 400-grit sandpaper. Remove all scale, burrs and debris. Clean it with carburetor cleaner and a rag. Place the new impeller inside the chamber, orienting the blades in the proper direction. here
