Electric fuel pump rebuild - Injected engine

My 250SL has a bad pump. I had no trouble for over a year
and then it failed on me. After knocking it, it started to
work a bit and I could start the car. I replaced it with a
Holley electric for the time being. The car runs well again.
Somewhere I read that the original pump is rebuildable.
I'm going to take it apart and see what I can see.
Has anyone else done this?
On a related note, can an electric pump work if it is installed
higher than the fuel level in the tank? I put mine on a bracket
to lower it, but I wonder if I had to.
Thanks!
