A seized water pump is nothing to repair.
Change it.
It's fairly easy.

Loosen the screws on the water pump pulley before you take of the belt.
Take of the pulley and you have access to the screws that holds the pump.
Clean the part where the o-ring on the pump meets the engine block before putting in a new one.
