2000-2006 GMC Yukon waterpump with thermostat remove and install

2002 GMC Yukon water pump with thermostat replacement.
NOTE: use a big vice grip for the radiator hose clamps, those are a pain in the ass to remove and install, so using a big vice grip to hold the clamp compressed will help
Tremendously.
Also, to remove the fan from the water pump pulley, you can use an adjustable wrench with a hammer to loosen the nut on the fan. Place the adjustable wrench on the nut, then hammer it to the left to loosen the fan. If you want to tighten the fan back, you just hammer the wrench to the right.
