How hard would it be to replace a water pump in a 2004 jeep liberty sport? When the car is started it makes noises and if you look closely the water pump is moving a bit in and out would that indicate that it is the water pump and if so. What would be the process of getting this fixed? how hard would it be? and how time consuming? I have a warrenty, but it has a 250 deductible and the part in only $50 so would it be better for me to fix or to take to a shop?

I would take it to the shop. Sure it's easy to say save the money and do it yourself but what if something goes wrong like a broken bolt or something. Besides at a shop they warranty their labor so if something goes wrong they are responsible. You can also use the service receipt as proof that you took care of the car if you ever try to sell it. You also need to think about if you doing the work yourself would void the warranty.

If you can tell that the noise is coming from the water pump, it is possible that the pump shaft bearing is loose, broken, or seizing. If so, you should replace it even though it still "works"; in that it still pumps water through the system which maintains the right temperature. The difficulty factor in changing the pump yourself is entirely in your own judgment.
You will have to take a look at what else you have to remove and replace in order to get to the pump. This all depends on the vehicle. Yours might be easy, or it might be a hassle. Whatever the case, I think you should go for it! A few simple tools and a repair manual is all it takes for a first timer with even a slight can do attitude to achieve this. Warning! Once you experience the satisfaction and savings by fixing it yourself, you may become hooked! I think most people would be surprised at how much easier it really is, than what they thought it would be to do their own repairs.

Dodge man is right. I will add that the only way you will get experience is to jump in and do it. I put 70,000 a year on my van and have been thru several water pumps on it and other vehicles. They just leaked out the weep hole, NO NOISE. Make sure you are replacing the right part. You did not mention leaking or overheating.

Ck the belt routting and be sure water pump and belt turn in the correct direction. It may have 2 different watter pumps and fan directions. Have seen this before!
