Chevrolet Aveo Timing belt Problem

I was told my timing belt and water pump needed replaced. Now from experience ive heard its not always thebest idea to replace your timing belt. They said that there is a leak in my water pump thats going on to my timingbelt. Now im not wanting to replace the timing belt but i went an got the water pump an was needing information on how to replace that where i wont have to take it to a shop due to the fact i have a three year old so money is extremly tight. if you could help me with some instructions that would be very much appriciated. thanks for your time.
