I promise, everything is very intuitive. Unplug the hoses by simply pulling on them, remove the pump by wiggling it off its rubber mounts and unscrew the water valve connected to the pump the pump. Replace those with the new ones and reverse the process.
I chose to change a few of the other little pieces of tubing, simply because I was under the covers - super simple and cheap.
I also replaced the spring and valve on the head (where the water comes out) to ensure that the new pump didn't overwhelm an old valve.
This pump works perfectly in our Delonghi EC702, it actually is an improvement over the original one. With these parts changed, we have a completely new machine!
Thanks eReplacement for the super fast service and clear parts catalog!

2.) Used a Phillips Head #0 bit to remove the two small screws on the back of the machine connected to the top heating base.
3.) Removed the top heating base.
4.) [CAUTION]If there's water still in the boiler, it will leak. If the boiler is hot, steam may exit, so let the machine cool down before continuing this step[CAUTION] Used an H3.5 (Hex) bit to remove the lower boiler from the upper boiler. It may also help to unplug the connectors from the upper-boiler for easier removal. Take a picture as you go to make it easier to put the wires back in the right places.
5.) After removing the upper boiler, remove the lower boiler.
6.) Grab the new boiler and put together the spring valve contraption. Place the valve ring inside the smaller end of the spring, then the valve, and carefully place the spring into where the dowel would go, with the valve going in first.
7.) Then screw in the dowel.
8.) Place the repaired or newly put together lower boiler back into its position.
9.) Screw the top boiler back to the bottom boiler with the H3.5 (Hex) bit. If you removed the wires, place them back in their respectful positions.
10.) Re-attach the top heating base.
11.) Screw the two small screws back into the back of the heating base with the PH#0 bit.
12.) Screw the three screws that connect the black base to the heating base with a 3mm flathead.

Make sure the machine is not hot before starting.
1) With a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw in the center of the diffuser and remove the diffuser.
2) Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the dowel.
3) Remove what's left of the valve, valve spring, and valve ring.
4) Thoroughly clean the dowel and diffuser.
5) Turn machine upside down and replace the valve ring, valve, and valve spring, being careful to seat the valve correctly.
6) Replace the dowel by screwing it down with a flathead screwdriver. Screw in until just tight and then back off about a 1/4 to a 1/2 a turn.
7) Replace the diffuser using the Philips head screwdriver.
In addition I needed to descale my machine before it began operating as expected. My machine had sat empty and idle for several months and I believe this contributed to the degradation of my ball valve.
