Yes, even for a mechanic, because a lot of stuff have to be removed to get to it .Is it hard to change a water pump on a 2000 plymouth neon?Yes,
Very hard and easy to mess something up that could cost you a ton of cash. Make sure whoever does it knows what they are doing. Make sure They have done one on your type of car.
You need a master mechanic. Call several shops,and take some time to talk to the person on the phone. Keep looking till you find someone your comfortable with. Some who comes accross as being honest. Take your time.
