I would like to know how hard it is to change the water pump in this model of car. My girlfriend was quoted around 400 dollars by a mechanic, but if it will save us the money i would like to give it a try. Any help will be much appreciated.

would this be too hard of a job for someone without a lot of car repair experience?
