some people find its easy and to others its just a real bit**. much depends on how far the pump is tipped/timed when fitted.
take off the injector pipes,
mark the pump at the front mounting/adjustment screws, then loosen them and the lower bracket and tip the pump to you, then at least you can see what your fumbling with. or just wait untill its timing belt time then remove the pump and do the front seal at the same time.

Done it dont know what all the fuss was about no more leaking wooo here comes the Summer fun!

Flexi head spanner and some small hands required it took me 20 mins and i scraped my wrist on the top of the pump but all worth the pain. :lol:
