I have not had to work with the pump but changing the pump is a relatively easy DIY task. However most often there is something else wrong with the car if the pump is gone, a leak somewhere that makes the pump work a lot too much. Finding the real issue may be more difficult (unless it is a broken strut that gave up completely).

I will soon be working on replacing the airmatic valve on my front passenger side. I kept seeing a "Malfunction" message and when I ran a quick diagnostic via Star DSS, it pointed out the issue being isolated to that valve.
This will require me to drop the font bumper. I plan to do this work in the next 2-3 weeks - will post an update on how it goes.
