NO...The Hydro Pump is held to the transmission by I think six bolts. Simply remove these bolts and the pump will separate from the transmission. The Sundstrand Hydro should NOT be painted. Paint won't allow for the heat dissipation. Once the Hydro Pump is cleaned up, and the rear end painted, install a new gasket and bolt the pump back on.
The bearings should be no issue. Simply protect them and keep clean.
