So in my efforts to take my pump apart, I'm a little worried I've screwed myself. In (attempting) to take the body apart, one screw came out pretty easily but the other wouldn't budge stripped, so I figured I'd try to drill the head out. It's not example going well as I have no machining skills, see the pictures:

It's eating up drill bits quicker than than the bolt itself.
Any suggestions where to go from here?

looks like you managed to drill out the head.. now you will need to bang it about with a wooden hammer...
usually the both parts of the body are stuck due to corrosion so need some hammering..

usually you can just hit the bearing out with a hammer...

Any updates on your project Celione? Following this thread closely as I am also doing mine. But a friend jet washed my AYC pump. Now I need to wait for it to completely dry before starting. Hmmphhh

is the 3 lights on right away or does it light up after a while ?

Light up right away means electrical (loose / wrong connection, etc) and if it lights up after a while, it means problems with the pump. Correct?
Btw, i got to that point of drilling the the heads off the two bolts between the two body pieces. Its a PITA to get it off. Will continue over the weekend.

due to pump position and orientation on us cars you always have motor bearing problems and corroded inside bolts.. taking the pump apart is always a pita
