Not trying to be a smart a&^ but if you do not know that it is called a "Water Pump", you probably don't need to try and replace the belt. But basically you loosen whatever the belt is driving in addition to the Water Pump. Alternator, A/C compressor, Or P/S Pump. This will loosen the belt and allow you to replace it. Tighten the device you loosened until you have about 1/4" deflection at mid-point of the new belt. If you have one a serpentine belt with an idler pulley, then it is under tension by means of a spring loaded idler. Remove tension from the idler pulley and then remove the belt. Reverse to replace the belt. Tension is automatically adjusted. Check the condition of the idler once the belt is removed. Noisy, or rough turning idler should be replaced. Pay close attention the the routing of the belt. Take a digital photo if necessary.
