Is there an easy way to remove and replace the pulley on the water pump?

Hi,
Are you accessing it from under the hood or have you tried getting to it through the fender? Oftentimes, I remove the right front wheel and plastic inner fender which opens things up for me.
I tried to find directions in the manual just for the water pump pulley, and the only thing that is offered is for water pump removal. Is there an issue just with the pulley? I ask because that is odd.
Regardless, let me know if that helps or if you have questions.
Take care,
Joe
