The thought of having to do it again in 30k more miles makes me want to dump the car. but I'm not sure what I would replace it with, ha.
Ovalbore on youtube has a video how to. If you have a lift, even a low lift one, it's 10X easier.
Not sure if anyone knows, but is there an aftermarket pump that is better than the OEM one? I know you can get a Pierberg pump, VDO, and I thought a Mahle pump.

I don't have too many diy's under my belt and I couldn't imagine doing it on the ground again either. Definitely the longest and most frustrating diy I've done and I gained a new appreciation for mechanics and avid diy'ers. Am I glad I did it? yes. Will I ever do it again? not unless I had a lift.
Unless a new part has come out in the last year, I think they're all relatively similar. There was one that had an all metal housing, but still had a plastic impeller and electric motor with the same susceptibility to failure.
