You've got to pull the fuel sending unit out of the tank. It's not too bad of a job, just takes time and can be messy. I've done it several times now, if you've got questions, or interested in going somewhere other than the dealer.

Drain tank, undo the bolts, remove teh floater while pump is still in the tank. slide pump back, and change sender. I think likely you can do this with the pump still in the car. There's one on each side i believe...buti 've only got experience on the drivers side

Any technical write ups on it or should I just take it to the dealer?

Here is a good writeup by ligenfelter on how to replace a stock fuel pump with one of theirs. It covers removing the fuel sending unit and the transmitter.
