Subject:leaking,pulley wobbling,noise making water pump

i have a few questions about my water pump, 85,1.9L
westy...it has started to make quite a racket today
and i noticed the pulley seems to wobble a bit, sounds
like the bearings are shot to me...it started leaking
about a week ago from around this area, but can't
really see exactly where. just to make sure im in the
right place, the small pulley to the left of the
engine(facing forward from back) is the water pump
pulley correct? and i know i need a new pump, is the
thermostat also in there somewhere? i figure if im
going to replace the pump, i may as well replace the
thermostat as well while im in there, if it is going
to be easily assesable...any comments appreciated as
to how hard this is, what to watch out for
etc...thanks
