Chevy Z71 1500... How hard is it to change a power steering pump?

I have a power steering pump that needs to be changed. I just wanted some experienced people to let me know if this is a task I could do myself or pay the 250 dollars for it to be replaced? If i can change it by myself is there anything i need to be overly cautious about or weary?Chevy Z71 1500... How hard is it to change a power steering pump?
If you have the special puller and installer for the pump pulley, its about an hour and a half job. If you dont have the special tools, then you will ruin the pulley and end up having to pay someone to do it anyway.Chevy Z71 1500... How hard is it to change a power steering pump?

I would pay a shop that knows what they're doing.
