Default Hydraulic pump Leak

Hey all, I have had my Sovereign for a week and a half now, and I think I've found a main reason for it to have been traded off. The hydraulic pump leaks rather badly and as you all probably know, drips directly onto the 3 groove belt. It is more than a little embarrassing, the squeal it puts out. I am planning on replacing it with a rebuild, unless its an easy bushing and seal swap. Im wondering what all is required in doing this. Obviously the top hose, and the resulting coolant drain, but does the rad need to come out too? It really doesn't look too hard, but it seems no matter what the car, theres always some little hang up that you find when its too late. (Oh Geez, Shoulda just traded it off! or Oh Crap! I really needed an engine hoist instead of a 10mm box end!) Thanks for any advice, Jerry
