Thank you for the clarification, Please give me one moment to type out some information for you. Sit tight one minute. I'll be right back !
Thank you for holding,
In order to remove and replace the water pump, you are going to need to remove the timing belt, and if the timing belt has not been recently charged it would be a good idea to replace it as well when replacing the water pump. If you have added a stop leak to the cooling system then yes, you are going to want to flush the cooling system including the radiator.
See the water pump replacement steps in this link.

See the timing belt and cover steps in this link.
