Hello,
In order to replace the water pump, the timing belt needs to be removed as well with few other components. That is why the cost of the water pump replacement is high.
Since you did not include the engine size I have included replacement procedure for both 2.4L and 2.5L engines.(see below)
Remember to only work on the engine when it is cold.
