Never had a recon one, new were about £260 last time I bought one. But you need to press the flange off the old pump. 100% not a job for someone with just a halfords tool kit as it has to be pressed on to the new pump to a certain depth.
100% new aux belt kit. It's just not worth the risk. £56 saving, when it lets go runs into £1000+ bill.
You only need to remove the alt to get to the pump, bit of jiggling and it'll come out.
