Unless you have the vehicle on a lift, I suggest 2 people, otherwise direct fit and the Ranchero was road ready in just over an hour.

I purchased 2 of these pumps. The first started leaking due to pitting on the shaft and the second only lasted about 2 months before it began to do the same. I will never buy another Lares product again.
