How to replace a re-circulation pump

Options
Hi All,

Can anyone tell me the process for replacing a circulation pump?

You can see a picture of my existing pump here:

The main problem I have is with the big nuts at either end of the pump. Do I need to use two wrenches for this? Or just one? And which nut to I undo?

Thanks,
Pete.

    looks like you have isolator taps either side that you should shut first to stop water shooting out , then undo the nut nearest the bottom of the pump and the one nearest the pump at the top (you can see where the threads are in the picture below)

    looks like a grundfos
