The locking tool is a necessity. I've done other timing belts and they are easy. The locking tool is available from Snap-On, but the cost, approx $300 and infrequent use makes the purchase questionable.
Also, the center locking nut on the crankshaft has approx 180 ft lbs of torque. Impossible, or nearly so, without the correct tools.
Remeber, if you don't have the cams timed properly, extensvie engine damage can result.
One option is too remove all the accessories and have the dealer just change the belt. I paid $150 for this.
The water pump is easy. I purchase from Napa, for <$60. You will need some torx sockets, available most places. I thought the pump was one of the easier jobs. On the V6, it sits in the center of the timing belt, so no timing belt issues involved with a water pump change.
good luck
