Servicing/replacing waterpump na6

I'm about to replace my water pump and do the bearings on my pulley but i'm still a noob with this stuff so can someone link me to what is actually required so I know what to order in from the mazda dealer or repco.

The fan in the pump is starting to make noise and the water pump pulley has some play in it so I'm planning to get on this asap as this is my daily driver.
I've been hunting around for parts online but not sure what I'm up against and total cost etc. I have a mechanic who can do this for me (brother) but I'd like to get an opinion from a learned mx5 enthusiasts first.

Thanks heaps in advance, I know search is my friend etc. But any help would be grand! Thanks guys

Search is indeed your best friend but here's my best advice: don't use non-oem stuffs for a timing belt and water pump job. I just had a bad experience with an in-tank Toyota fuel filter I bought from Repco. Repco is fine for sundry stuffs like spark plugs, brake pads, brake fluid, oil and other consumables. I have a post somewhere listing all the parts you need after you have her unbuttoned.
