Easy to do, just whip out lower rear seats and swap over the pumps...10 min job.

That simple? is it the same sort of idea as a central heating pump to a boiler?

It is just a fluid pump like any other...so if you are careful and don't smoke
then all will be fine.
Never changed a boiler pump, but would imagine it is similar...
Best bet is to get the part first, then you can see all the connections to it, so you can see what bits you need to disconnect from the old pump. It should come with the 'tea bag' filter and be almost a complete swap over.
