It is not hard. Take off the serpentine belt then remove the plastic cove on the passenger side behind the wheel. You will have to remove the pulley then. Unbolt the water pump and remove it. Make sure surfaces are clean install new pump. I would recomend draining the coolant and replacing it.

for 2001 Dodge Caravan: How to remove the water pump. The main problem with this particular removal is when you try to remove the pump it becomes impossible because the water pump hits the frame of the van.

Solution: Release two of the passanger side motor mount bolts(the two located closest to the front of the van), then loosen the third just a bit, this will drop the engine enought for the removal of the water pump. You do not have to drop the entire engine, simply loosen the motor mount bolt and you will create enough space to remove the defective water pump.

PS. to remove the serpentine belt, simply use a pair of channel locks, pull down on the tensioner pulley and the belt will become slack enought for removal.
