Real easy to do, no special tools required for the serp belt, they are available and can make it just a tad easier but definately not a "need".

Hay Rick .. would a 1/2" breaker-bar fit on the tensioner ? Also ... I hear that the pass side motor mount should be uNconnected ...and the motor dropped down slightly ... ??
Doubtfull on the breaker bar, unless it is real thin..You only have maybe a inch in that area.
I`m cheap so rather than buy the trick ratcheting ones, I made my own out of 1/2 square stock and a piece of 3/16 x 1" flat stock.
I personally don`t take the mount loose..that is taking WAY more off than needed...I never even open the hood until I refill it.

regardless of what you have heard, you'll never be able to get ALL the ducks lined up. very short attention spans and when you herd them on one side, they scatter to the other

I use the wrench method, a thin breaker bar can also be used, tight fit but I have one I got from GM good wrench that works, barely, I would imagine it could be imposible with the motor or sheet metal slightly shifted either direction. Warranty time is 1.5 hours. I don't know enough about the quality of different aftermarket brands to say if AZ has a good one or not, they all change vendors and re-builders so fast it is hard to say what you will get. I would just get the cheapest NEW pump I could find unless the price differance was HUGE then I would get a lifetime reman  Chilton and haynes both suck!

Doc the pump I got from Advanced had a Mopar sticker on it.It was a new one.Ive had a few on the bolts stuck.I just work them back and forth real easy with some good penatrating oil sprayed on them.They always come out with some paitiance.I always use antisieze when I reinstall them.I always get a new pump when I replace them.For the little they cost remans arent worth it.Rocky

Not sure if this helps, I changed one on a 3.3 in our Dynasty, it was one of the easier pumps, time-wise, to do. My first east-west pump change and it went well.
Unfortunally this doesn`t count in this case, After 2000 they moved the pump to the rear (or right for you north/south guys) and with it being right next to the frame rail it adds a level of difficulty....The old front mounts were a piece of cake

NOT KNOWING bolt sizes etc ... I have coasted along. Right now I am stopped at the WP bolt at 10 oclock. I am going to have to modify a box wrench to get at that. The other WP bolts so far were EZ... BUT a PITA. I dropped the pass side mount as far as it would go .... 1.5 inches ... that exposed the pulley and WP bolts better.
What a LOUSY @$$ design this is ..... oleHAM must have had his hand in this.  
No need to take the mount off.
If you pry the engine to the left (drivers side) the water pump/pulley assembly will have enough room to come out.
To get out the broken bolt , drill and easy out if it's flush. Alot of times just the head breaks off and has enough left to get some vise grips on with a little heat on the housing.
Pry Bar ? .... move the motor to the left(rear) ? .... NOT to the front? BTW Todd ... just in case someone else is reading this ... how do you handle a broken bolt?

JUSTa followup .... for some that might have been following this .... all is well .... I cut a 10mm box wrench down to about 3.5" long and I could get it to swing about 2/3 of a turn ...  But a ratchet wrench would have worked better..... and BTW .... if you are located in the midwest ....near a Meijer store .. they have a SLICK set of these wrenches ON SALE this week. 10 piece set - 53 beans. And these are the NICE ONES .... I think 70 clicks on a 360. Does anyone remember the KD ones ... that were maybe 12 or so ...for a 360 ? ..  Talked to a Bud of mine who is a mechanic who is a recent Mopar convert .... his SNAPon set he thinks was almost 200$.
