    7a water pump dilemma

    So I currently have an annoying grinding/rumbling from the front of the engine, sounds like an auxiliary part, have eliminated PAS pump and alternator and the noise sounds to me like the water pump bearings, so my question is do I change it without doing the timing belt as that's only ~10000 miles old or go the whole hog and change everything? Also if I change everything it's recommended to change the crank pulley correct?
    Cheers

    The pump is an easy job you don't even need to take the bumper off so I would be inclined to just do that seeing as the rest of it is recent
