I did the R&R of the coolant pump on my 6V92 a couple years ago. I followed the DD manual. The manual shows three bolts holding the assembly to the engine, two long ones and one short one. the locations of the different lengths are obvious. I do not recall the details of removal, I just moved stuff as needed.

The installation is as follows:
1) affix seal ring to pump body.
2) Mount pump so gear meshes with gear in engine and dowel, install bolts lightly.
3) Replace hoses and clamps, tighten after next steps
4) check gear backlash (setting is 1-6 thousandths). The manual isn't clear where to measure the backlash so I used a dial at the outer edges of the impeller.
5) adjust gear backlash by rotating pump around dowel, then tighten bolts
6) install pump cover
7) tighten hose clamps
8) replace items taken loose and refill radiator

The job wasn't hard except for finding a way to collect all the coolant for reuse, ended up with several 5 gallon plastic water carriers.

hopefully this helps
