Assuming you have a 3.4 you need a pulley remover to get the pulley off. Once that is done you need to remove the coil packs if not done so already. Once the packs and the pulley is off unbolt the bracket and remove, then unbolt the pump.

Not to contradict, but he doesn't actually have to pull off the pulley or pump themselves. Remove the coilpacks, and you will be able to access the bolts to the power steering bracket. Remove those, and the whole assembly will come loose and you can hang it slightly aside so that you can get access to the water pump bolts. As long as you're careful, doing that is enough.
sorry i guess i wasnt clear enough thats my fault... i already have the power steering out of the way. but i need the water pump off do i take off all the bolts i see or what it seems to be stuck on there pretty hard but thanks for the advice on the power steering. I jus need to get the water pump off on my 3.4 so i can get to this cam thing and have sum fun

i've never done one on the 3.4, but according to haynes you may need to give it a few taps with a rubber mallet to break the gasket seal. not too hard though, you don't wanna break anything.
also note that on the 3.4 there are three different torque specs for the bolts on the pump. if you're using haynes see pg 3-7, figure 7.17. remember to run a tap into the bolt holes first to clean the threads so you can get accurate torque readings. nothing sux worse than getting everything back together only to find out that you have a little leak that could have been prevented by 5 minutes of extra care when you were reassembling. take your time with it. good luck...
