Hydraulic pump change Kubota L5450

[fandango]

Looking at changing pump, but worried it maybe above my skill set. Has anyone here changed one on this model? Up here in Canada they are charging $1250 for it so I want to make sure I don't screw it up. Thanks

What type hyd diagnostics have been performed to determine hyd pump needs to be replaced or is pump body cracked?

According to my Kubota dealer they are not rebuildable and I'd have a qualified dealer do the replacement. Not a shade tree mechanic job.

Excuse the ignorance on my part, but what's so complicated about this pump that requires all that?
