Pretty straightfoward. I think it took me ~30 minutes last time and most of that was draining the coolant. You still lose a bit of coolant when you pull the pump so have a pan and rags below. I'll list the steps without the pics from the manual below.
1) Remove the air cleaner intake duct.
2) Remove the accessory drive belt.
3) Drain the cooling system.
4) Reposition the inlet and outlet hose clamps at the water pump.
5) Remove the inlet and outlet hoses from the water pump.
6) Reposition the heater inlet and surge tank outlet hose clamps at the water pump.
7) Remove the heater inlet and surge tank outlet hoses from the water pump.
8) Remove the water pump bolts.
9) Remove the water pump.
10) Remove the water pump gaskets.

it's a 30 to 45 minute job.... about as difficult as replacing a set of brakes.... just a few heads up...
use anti sieze thread compound and
use a torque wrench..(first pass 15 N-m/ 11 ft. lbs ) (final pass 30 N-m/ 22 ft. lbs.)
replace the dexcool, do not reuse it...

Don't ask. It was around 60k and all of the stuff needed to be done, along with the first CL fix.
