George, Assuming that your K is the same as my H, your fuel pump is operated by a short push rod that is driven by the cam shaft. When you remove the fuel pump, the push rod can fall into the oil pan! I know this from experience! Retrieving it from the oil pan is a frustrating, time consuming job! A trick to keep the push rod in place while installing the new pump is to coat the push rod with grease prior to reinstalling it.

Anything to look out for or avoid? Or is it as easy as it looks?
