Replacing the water pump and replacing the timing belt are both part of the 60K maintenance.
First off, you do not have to remove the engine from any vehicle I know of to replace a timing belt. Secondly, your vehicle has a chain, and not a belt.
You have to remove the alternator, driving belts (serpentine belt, stirring pump belt). After that remove the engine mount on the passenger side of the car (do not forget to put something underneath the engine before removing the mount). After that you need remove the upper timing belt cover. Remove the crankshaft pulley and lower timing belt cover. Put the marks on the timing belt. Loosen the timing belt pulley, stretch the spring, and tighten the timing belt pulley. Remove the timing belt. After this you get access to the oil pump, which is going around the crankshaft and has dozen of bolts to remove. PS: Before you start make sure you have to gasket because they are not reusable.
