They are going to be busy then, as there is a planned one next week as well.

The planned one was to be this week on Thursday. It will be postponed,
but some of the tasks will have to be done before the next shuttle
mission, I think. The planned spacewalk will be replaced by the pump
module R&R spacewalks, currently scheduled for Friday and Monday.

If they are not sure what the problem is its hardly a good idea to go and
try to fix it. I'd have thought with all the sensors they have it would be
bloody obvious by now!

They are sure that the problem is somewhere in the pump module, so they
will remove and replace it. Would you suggest that they should analyze
the **** out of it and then take it apart during an EVA, Hubble STIS
repair -style? It would be much more risky, take more money, time and
take consumables...
