Water Pump Bad?

Water Pump Bad?
Hi!
I posted that my 1991 Buick Park Avenue's (3.8L with A/C)serpentine belt had come off. I received some excellent advice from the 'the_tow_guy'. The advice included to check for bad components that might cause it to throw the belt. I think that I identified the problem as the Water Pump, because there seemed to be a lot of play on the pulley(terminology?). Am I barking up the right tree? I am able to wiggle the pulley quite easily while the components other pulleys seem solid. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated, since I am quite the novice. If it is the water pump, I am going to need a lot of advice on how to replace it. Thanx for your time.
