Timing Belt Question

This isn't a typical timing belt question. On my 01 Frontier the water pump has developed some play, it's not leaking yet. I did the timing belt 4 years ago at 106,000 miles, at the time I opted out of doing a new water pump. I guess that decision has come back to haunt me. This belt is 4 years old and has about 37,000 miles on it. Question is should I reuse this belt or replace it since I'll be in there?

Replace it, because if you re set the tension on it after taking it off, from what I understand the belt stretches slightly over time, you increase the risk of it snapping. For a 30 dollar part, to me, it isn't worth the risk.

Yea that's what I figured. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Thanks for the input. I guess I'll be hitting up the Nissan dealer tomorrow.
