No experience with their particular kit but I would think it's fairly easy to do as long as you have access to a press and as long as your housing isn't badly scored or corroded. You might want to dissasemble yours before ordering the kit in cae yours can't be rebuilt. It's not a simple bolt together deal.

Dont forget there are dimensions, they are in service manual, the height has to be set.

Roger,
I did one for a customer with a Zip kit and it worked fine. Just make sure to measure everything before you press it apart, especially the dimensions for the fan mount hub. If you dont get this right your belt tracking will be off.

I sent my original pump here. 2 week turnaround.

As far as I know they are one of the only places that rebuilds them.
