I understand that if you change timing belt, you might as well also change the water pump. How about the other way? If you change the water pump, do you want to change the timing belt too?

Usually depends on the vehicle, but in my RX300 that is a very sound, time-savings and cost-savings idea (if you don't do your own repairs).
