I took my pump off today and had water come out when I removed the cone and all of the grease was brown. While I have it off I was thinking of rebuilding it. I'm wondering if this is something most people can do or should I pay my mechanic to do it? I see the kits for around $45. Any special tools?
Blaster pump rebuild, DIY or pay Mechanic?

get started on it .. you can always quit and have it done ! but a strong drift punch ,brass punch,and medium size hammer can do it, dont be afraid just think about what your doing , sometimes a propane torch can help in places too

You will need the proper impeller removal tool and driveshaft holder to get it off.
I needed to do a midshaft and pump rebuild. I bought a 12 tonne press and looked at it as a long term investment although it may it have been the cheapest route. Jetmaniac has kits for sale for a decent price.
Blow torch and impeller tools as mentioned will also be needed. It is a fairly easy process, the micro fiche from riva is also helpful. Good luck!
