Water pump bearing noise

[jas98]

I have a noise at start up for about 30 seconds on and off then all good. This noise sounds like from front of engine....very loud aswell almost similar to belt squeal but not a high pitch sound.

 

 

Anyway other day I took belt off to look for another noise(still there with belt off)  but I spun all pulleys and found the water pump sounded bad....I've attached a vid of it. However I took belt off next day and it was silent however was very hard to turn.....about 5 times harder then a new one to turn (checked in supercheap with one on shelf.) So I drove it for the day and checked it again and it's still same...nothing like in the video I done. Also no leaks from weep holes at all.

 

 

Either way a new ones going on...it's just im wondering if it's bearing or something else gone in it. It is a GMB pump prob about 1052/" 000ks on it almost.
