2002 Kia Sedona...how difficult is it to replace a water pump

Most dealerships will actually recommend doing the pump at the same time, and it's normally the customer who balks at the cost and says no.

Later, when the pump fails and rips the belt apart, they get mad because it wassn't done. Seems like you've got a solid head on your shoulders.

Get it done. It's easier and far safer.
