Smile water pump

Have a 95 Windstar w the pulley for the water pump vibrating. Assumes this means replacing the pump. I have a Haynes manual but never having done this repair before I would appreciate any tips or tricks. Also I would like to know if we should replace the timing belt while we're in there? We have no idea when it was last replaced. Thanks in advance for any advice for the mechanically challenged.

You are welcome!
You may want to get a Haynes manual if you try to tackle the water pump yourself.
