As easy as a timing belt. You have to loosen the power steering pump to do the water pump.

Default i did my timing belt about 2 weeks ago...

i was hopeing there was a procedure. not sure how to actually disconnect the pump. i removed the bolts to get to the water pump, but never disconnected anything.

Default yea, definitely replace at least the timing belt tensioner...

i replaced the accessory belt tensioner too just b/c i was there. but now it looks like i have to take the front end apart to replace the power steering pump.

oh, and make sure you have the spanner wrench for the fan clutch, its a bitch w/out it. also should have the cam bar before you tackle this job. most people replace the snub mount too.
