I have replaced my water pump on my 2000 mpv (after only 4 years) and it was relatively simple. Whatever you do, do NOT bring it to the dealer as most dealers will charge upwards of $650 for what I did in about 2 hours of work in my driveway with a 10 mm wrench and a gasket scraper.
I am not sure how technical an answer you need but basically it is as easy as removing the serpentine belt (a picture of the routing is located under the hood for future reference), loosening the bolts that hold the pump into the housing, carefully removing the remainder of the gasket (I recommend buying a gasket tool which will prevent gouging the housing while removing the gasket) placing the new gasket on the new water pump and bolting the new pump on. Route the serpentine belt and check the top off the antifreeze. Start the engine and check for leaks.
My part (which was ridiculously simple, just a pulley, bearing and PLASTIC 'impeller') cost was $60 and I was refunded $10 when I brought the bad one in.
The thrust bearings are inside the engine. You must remove crankshaft to replace them.

In order to remove the water pump on a 2000 Mazda Millennia, you must first remove the timing belt and the pulley for the water pump. Remove the pump itself by detaching the four bolts that are securing it. Next, replace any gaskets, install the new pump, then the pulley, and then the timing belt.
