Easy enough just make sure you diconnect your battery and carry out the pump change in a well vented area (outside). The petrol vapours will create a flammable atmosphere so remove any source of ignition. The back seats will require removing and the pump is a lot smaller than the OEM so position the pump and secure with cable ties. Make sure you have grips to close off the petrol line once disconnected to avoid spilling petrol.

worth doing on an empty tank and have lots of cloth round to soak up the petrol that will squirt out when you pull the pipes off. An old edition of scoobymagazine has a picture guide in it
