How Do I Tell If My Water Pump Is Squeeking?

When mine was squeaking, it was only when it was cold from sitting overnight, so one morning before work I got outside 10 minutes early and took the belt off, I could tell right away when I turned the water pump pulley by hand, it was squeaking and didn't feel smooth when I spun it...so I put the belt on and drove it to work, picked up my new pump on the drive home, and changed it that night...
It could also be a belt tensioner or idler bearing...there are 4 of those (1 tensioner on each belt and 1 idler on each belt)...again with the belt off, if they feel anything less than smooth, they should probably be replaced.
