Service manual says you need a special tool for removing the water pump pulleys (EN-49201) but I paid someone to replace my timing belt and water pump for me when mine was due so I don't know how much it's really needed. You can find them relatively cheap on ebay

Edit: Here's a discussion regarding the water pump+tool on the LXV engines. Also talks about the timing kit they used
