You have to get the pulley off yes, which is made much easier with air tools. However, removing the pump itself should not be an issue. It is doable by a driveway mechanic. At least it is on my 3.0 V6.

you need a puller to pull the pulley off of the old pump. any 3-jaw puller that'll fit will work.
ive never looked at the pump on my ranger, but when i did the one on my escort, the new pump came with a nut and bolt that were threaded into the hollow shaft of the pump and used as a press to install the pulley onto the new pump. if your ranger pump doesnt use this setup, then you'll need a press to fit the pulley onto the pump.
if you have other means of transportation, i recommend taking the old pump off and bringing both pumps to a shop. this way they can swap the pulleys over for you and probably wont charge you.

But if Peter Piper pawned his puller to pull the pulley off the pump, perhaps paying a profesional would prove prudent.

When your using the puller I found out that if you wrap the belt around the pulley then clamp it w/ vise grips the wrap the loop of belt around something sturdy it will hold the pump pulley when your turning the nut on the puller
