Jason,
The process is quite straight-forward. The only tricky bit is 
replacing the check valves, which are staked into the pump body. A 
Dremel tool will help. Pay attention to how they go back in. It's 
worth the effort to retain the priming lever, which comes in real 
handy after the car has been sitting for some time, like during 
winter storage.
