V90 Water pump replacement -- DIY possible? S90-V90 1998

The water pump in my wife's V90 has started to leak. Not much at all so far, but it'll only get worse. I'm a B230 guy, and don't know much about working on the 2.9L six. I'm assuming the water pump is driven off the cam belt. I have no repair manual for this car -- haven't even been able to find one -- and am just wondering if there is anything requiring special tools or knowledge when replacing the water pump. Like loosening the cam belt's tension, keeping the alignment marks where they're supposed to be, etc. We had our Volvo mechanic replace the cam belt and pulley(s) about 10k miles ago, so they're still good.

Any tips or hints? I've searched here and wasn't able to find anything specific to the water pump replacement on the 2.9L six.

Best,

Michael
