Hello,

Replacing the water pump will require you to take the serpentine belt off.
It can be done in couple of hours using simple hand tools.
Best way to access the water pump is from under the vehicle. Just lift the vehicle with a floor jack and support it with jack stands.
It is always a good ideal to wear protective equipment like safety eyewear and gloves.
Remember to work on it when the engine is cool.

Here are couple of helpful articles:

I have also attached the replacement diagram for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
