Imho, seals, tensioner and water pump are unnecessary the first time. They
tell you to replace the water pump at the parts counter, because it is a
bear to get to unless the timing belt is off. But if you're not paying for
labor it isn't so hard on the wallet. If you've always used Honda Genuine
Coolant and been somewhat conscientious about replacing it, your water pump
is likely good as new.
