Default diesel pump seals

Hi there has anyone on here ever changed the seals as mines pissing diesel out under the throttle linkage looks an easy job to do! and if so what do i look out for when taking apart and replacing.

just done them very easy. it was the new throttle linkage that killed me 98 quid for new seals etc reason for these pumps leaking on the throttle is because the housing and linkage become worn and unseat the seals apparently but worth doing instead of throwing diesel down the drain.
