fuel level sender replacement?

i just got my copied landrover workshop cd which i bought of ebay and reading thru it shows that the sender unit can be replaced from the pump on its own without the need to replace the whole pump(which i had been told by main dealer), has anyone ever done this and is the part readily available please?
