I replaced my water pump this year, first time I ever did it, it took me several hours. Everything has to come off the front of the engine. Just take your time and go slowly. Here are some bugaboos I remember: have some spare hose clamps ready for the coolant connections to the throttle body, one of mine broke and I had to shlep down to home despot for a new one. This is a good time to remove the frisbee if you haven't done it already, you'll need some washers to use as spacers. I removed mine with no ill effects. When replacing the clamp on the lower radiator hose, make sure the screw is oriented at an angle that you'll be able to get to it later on, because once you put all that stuff back there's only maybe one way to get to it. You'll need a deep socket to remove one of the a/c compressor bolts, I forget what size it is. And once you're all done, here's how I "burp" the system, when refilling the coolant, and it works for me, though maybe it's not exactly right: just put in as much coolant into the radiator as you can, fill it to the top, leave the radiator cap off, start the car, and stand there with your coolant filling the radiator as the level goes down. After a few minutes it will top off. Oh, and you might want to get a new radiator cap, it couldn't hurt and is cheap insurance.
