Thanks a lot. I just did it, and it seems all good. It was somewhat different because mine is the Euro model, and I ended up forcing the old pump out with a vise grip because you can't apply a wrench at the bottom, and the nipples sit in front of the pump, not like in the pictures posted here, but it all ended up working alright.
