A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump pit. A sump pit, commonly found in the home basement, is simply a hole to collect water. The water may enter via the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system, funneling into the pit, or may arrive because of rain or because of natural ground water, if the basement is below the water table level.
The best too for draining a flooded basement is a built-in sump pump. If your basement does not have a sump pump , you can rent a pump from most equipment rental stores. A wet/dry vacuum can also be used to remove water from a flooded basement.

Remove the bolts.
Easy, put the car on ramps. Remove the sump guard plasctics. Drain the oil from the sump. Disconnect the oil level sensor wires. Undo the 3 bolts on the bell-housing that holds unto the sump, you will need a 5mm ball-end allen socket. Undo the 20, 10mm head bolts on the sump bottom. Remove the sump, you may need to tap with a soft-head hammer. This is one of the easiest sumps to remove with the engine in the car.

Yes you need a Torx bit to remove the sump plug. Also be careful when you remove the sump plug, there is a O ring on the plug that may fall off. Oh by the way, alot of Astra bolts use Torx (Many manufacturers recomend that you replace the sump plug & o ring)
