Simple, removed screws securing machine in the cabinet, then pull the unit out of the cabinet space about 10 inches. Springs are accessible within this extension.

I removed the kick plate and I unscrewed the anchor clips from under the counter and carefully pulled the unit out. I then opened the dishwasher and removed the lower rack. To minimize water clean-up, I took a rag and soaked up the standing water in the bottom until it was nearly dry. I then tipped the dishwasher on it's left side, knowing where the location of the drain pump (front, right), would be in an easier location for me to work. I first unplugged the pumps wiring. Then, with pliers, I was able to disconnect the clips on the short, rubber hoses that hold the pump in alignment.(Use caution: If reusing the same rubber hose(s) on the new pump, it will be easier if you put them on in the same direction as they were take off) Then I removed the rubber supports off their hooks, that allow the pump to hang from the bottom of the dishwasher. Once the rubber hoses are re-connected on the new pump and placed on to it's former proper alignment, you can re-attach the rubber supports to their hooks. And last, but not least, remember to plug the new pump's wires back in place. Carefully stand up dishwasher and push it slowly back into place. I plugged in the unit and turned on the water. Before I screwed the unit back to the counter and kick plate back on the front, I ran a load and watched for leaks beneath the new pumps area. No leaks. "Easy, Peasy".
