Replacing the water pump in a 2007 V6

Good day all!

I was wondering if anyone had to replace a water pump in the V6 model and attempted to do it themselves. It looks like a pretty tight squeeze. Is it possible to do it yourself without moving the engine? I started getting the sadly familiar loud grinding sounds and I know it's just a matter of time before it gets worse. If anyone has any advice or experience, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I can't give you instructions, but back in this old post I explained how the dealer replaced both my water pump and oil hose in less than two hours. That same thread may give you some tips in getting started.
