I have fair skills in mechanical work. I have replace water pump is on cars and trucks that are rear wheel drive but have never tackled front drive. Is it that much harder? It looks as if the bulk of the work will need to take place under the car.
Do you

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is a tutorial for you to view showing replacement of a water pump:

You will be doing work to replace the water pump both from under the hood and underneath the car. You can gain better access by jacking the car up and removing the right front tire. I've attached picture steps below showing the water pump assembly. Be sure when torquing the bolts on assembly to 88 lb in. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
