Hyundai Repair: SANTA FE WATER PUMP, water pump, timing belt


Question
Hi,

I need to replace my water pump in my 03 Santa, 4WD, 2.7L.

I have the new part but am undecided to do myself (I am mechanical and do certain repair work) or bring it to a shop.

How difficult and what tips/tricks can you suggest for this job.

Thanks for the help and advice,

Gary

Answer
I guess my question would be if you have ever tackled a timing belt job on something like this? If not this is probably the time to experiment. I guess my next question would be are you sure it's not covered under Warranty. I'm not positive but i believe a water pump is at least 5/60000 and may be a 10/100000 powertrain part.
