Default water pump

A buddy of mine needs a new water pump. He wants to try to do it himself. Is it difficult? What would you rate it on a scale 1-10 being hard?

Also is there any online information that he can access to help?

Thanks Everyone!!!

the worst part of it, is tearing all the accesories off the pump bolts. It's simple really when it comes down to it.
