Why do you think it's the water pump or the radiator? I would make sure the cooling fans are working. And if they are, the air flow should be nice and warm. If not,it needs a thermostat.
Get a repair manual but first figure out why overheating since throwing parts that may not be problem is waste of time and money and if dont know what your doing can cause more problems
First jump the drivers side fan to the battery red to +black to- if it works the motors good check the fuses hi/low speed fan and the same for the relays change them if still not working change the coolant temperature sensor by the thermostat housing if still not working then there's a wiring problem have fun
I agree with Snow. Check the fans first. There should be two fans, one condenser and one just cooling. The condenser fan should run continuously when the AC is on. The cooling fan runs intermittently depending on the coolant temperature. If the cooling fan does not kick on when the temperatures of the engine is hot, it may be the fan motor. An simple method of checking is to bang on the motor to see if it will start. I lick to use a large set of folding hex wrenches for this. If the motor kick on then replace the motor. If not, it may be the motor, the relay or a break or short in the wiring. May be a good idea to check fuses as well. Good luck.

take the negative side off the battery put the car on ramps secure the rear end so it does not roll and if you need a diagram for removing and installing the starter try autozone

I have had this happen with my ranger. Changed everything I could to try to fix the over heating. It turned out that I had a small leak in my head gasket and it was allowing exsaust gas to go into the cooling system witch was over pressurizing it. Also the air from the exsaust will heat up much faster than liquid making your thermostat to read hot and will not be able to blow hot air in the cab because there is no liquid going to the heater core. This happened to me when my blet came off and I tryed to make it home. If you had it over heat for a long peirod of time it may have ripped the head gasket.

If they are sealed bearings, you will need a press to get them out. If they are bolt in, just remove the brake pads/rotors, then the axle nut, then the bolts holding the wheel bearing in. Install in reverse order.
