Has anyone replaced a water pump on a 2000 Dodge Durango? If so, was it difficult to do. Did it require any special tools?

I own a 2000 Durango with the 5.2l engine.

I've changed the water pump twice. Both times due to the bearing being bad - once it locked up.

Closest that I came to a special tools was the long punch to get the fan clutch to back off the pump. Nothing otherwise different.
