I don't know if you'll be able to do that.  When the seals started leaking on
my last dishwasher, I tried to pull the motor and pump.  Turns out they are
an "integrated part" - non-serviceable.  I had to replace the entire motor
assembly.  That cost just over $100 for the part alone.  So when it went
the 2nd time, I opted to replace the unit.  The new dishwasher only cost
me about $160.  So if your washer is => 10yrs old, you might just want to
think about a new one.
