Got a new one today. Any comments on changing it out? Will I run into any problems I should know about? Should It be simple to do? I have changed the oil filter adaptor gasket, and that's been the hardest job yet.
 
I just did this, Although I did drop the whole K-member at the same time which made it easier. The fittings can be hard to get at. The fitting on pump is PIA to remove. Thanks to Jeremi's advice, I removed the pulley first. It is so much easier doing this. Maybe some others can coment on removing the fitting at the rack.
 
When I did mine, I unbolted the rack from the subframe and pulled it forward to get at the fitting there (using a stubby wrench.) Make sure to use a backup wrench on the fitting as you don't want to twist the short one from the hose to the rack (unless your replacing it too of course ;) ) It was awkward but I got it done.

I didn't have any trouble on the pump side for some reason though?...
 
When I did mine (twice :() I did not remove any of the above. I used a crow's foot socket and some line wrenches (18mm? for fitting on pump). Small turns to break the nuts loose and then you can use a regular open end wrench. Had pictures on here some time ago....
