Ariana,

Great to hear from you. I hope you had a good holiday season. Also, I'm glad to see you are working on something straight forward.

As far as replacing the pump, it is straight forward. The only thing is if the new pump doesn't come with the pulley attached. In that case, you have to get a new one. The old one is not meant to be reused. Additionally, tell them at the parts store that you need the tool to install the new pulley. If you look at the last pic below, it explains the procedure. This will only be needed if the new pump doesn't come with the pulley.

Take a look through the directions below and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
