Don't forget you will need a crank locking tool and remember that the crank nut is at 300 nm so you need a powerful impact gun for removal ( or breaker bar and scaffold pipe ) as well as a torque wrench capable of measuring 300nm.
As for water pump, on my Xc70 that was still perfect when I changed the belt for the second time at 180k so was left alone. It's on over 200k now.
I know there are differing views on using genuine parts but I would not take out your original pump if it still feels fine to then replace it with a cheap aftermarket one ( if indeed yours is ).
Do a search and you will find several instances of where a cheap replacement pump has failed on the D5 and has taken out the cambelt.
