I ordered these same parts from finditparts ebay store last summer and had no issues with them. Mine was rusted just the same, maybe worse. Ended up getting a new rebuilt pump because the old one turned out to be unsalvageable.
That seems to be pretty common, mine was rusted in the same spot after sitting in Georgia with water in the engine valley for who knows how long. Afraid you’re in for a pump rebuild.
Success with the Ridgid set. I think the vertical splines are the key to this set, it grabs really well. It also helps that it doesn't break off when extracting. I did try some Hanson multi spline extractors first but they didn't grab deep enough and ended up just widening the hole in the...

My problem is what I'm reading in the DWF instructions doesn't seem to match up with the lines/hoses...
