The other day i was inspecting my car and noticed a decent amount of play in the water pump pulley. Just want to know if this pulley can be replaced or does the pump it self have to go aswell. The car itself has no overheating problems or anything like that.

Pulleys don't go bad unless the bolt are just left loose. It's the water pump that causes that.
