I'm replacing mine now and just got it out . The rear pump motor is located on top of the fluid reservoir (the front pump is located underneath). The rear pump has a gray wire terminal connector with a green and black wire. It's just to the front of the washer fluid fill pipe (which can be removed for more access simply by twisting and pulling up). I had already loosened the three 10mm nuts from underneath thinking I had to do so to remove the front pump. I don't think it was necessary but it did allow some wiggle room when twisting the front pump to pull it up and out. The front pump simply pulls out of a rubber grommet in the tank.

I did this today on both wagons.... It isn't incredibly difficult, I did the second one without even jacking the car up. The first took 30 minutes, the second took ten minutes.

What I learned.... Make sure both vent tubes are up and out of the way when you out it back together so you don't have to drop the tank again and fish one out.
