Well the water pump was easy to do for me put im not sure if it will be easy for you if you take the starter motor off pluss the alternator it makes life so much easyer.. the way i see it if you dont try and do it your self then you will never learn but thats just me lol if you use your car for work then get etc then get mechanic to do it as it might be off the road for abit if you do it....I never done one befor and i had mine done in about 3hours max
