replacing the water pump is quite a bit harder than replacing the radiator. its not all that difficult but is a pain in the ass. get a manual and read through the timing belt replacement section and you'll see how hard it is, then decide what to do.

well, the only thing I got a problem with is removing the timing belt. I know jack shit about timing, therefore, would a solution be to just leave it all on except for around the pulley on the water pump ?

If your gonna go through all the trouble of replacing the water pump you really should replace the timing belt, and any other belt you take off.
