Just doing the belts and pullies is no biggie. You can replace the water pump without removing the rear cover IF you cut the top half off at the water pump. Then most of the time you will need to replace the balance and crank seals too. This means the entire rear cover needs to be removed.
A flywheel lock is a good idea as you will need to put over 150 foot pounds on the crank bolt to get the pullies off to get to the seal and remove the cover.

Check out Arnnworx, buy his tool kit, with the kricket tensioner, balance shaft wrench, flat 27mm wrench and flywheel lock. You won't regret it. Once you're armed with that and a basic set of tools, go to town!
It isn't hard or complicated, just a bit time consuming, and you need to keep your head on straight while you do it, or you might find yourself going back to put things together the right way. Between Pelican and Clark's Garage, you can and will get through this!
