its not hard job, just sump off and un bolt oil pump,
bottom pully off crank i think too,
well basically oil pump, pumps oil about engine, if its pissing out it wont get round engine = poorly engine,
if u do it make sure you clean the surfaces up correct before putting back on!

its not that big of a job... the main ballache is taking all the other crap off so you can get the pump itself out....

basically.... sump off.... bottom pulley off, timing belt off, and the bottom timingbelt sprocket off.

then undo the pickup pipe from the pump and then undo the bolts that hold the pump to the engine.....

if your crank nut has never been off before, prepare for the mission of your life to get it off! its VERY tight.
its also a bit of a mission doing it with the engine in the car - space wise
