Im not sure if it will be aswell to just use the same pump as i can mark them together although i thought that the slot on the end of the shaft of the pump where its tappered would only go in the one way .
IM TOTALLY FEELING MY WAY WITH THIS AS I GO ALONG SO TO SPEAK .

Remember and mark the auld pump position before you remove it, and transfer the mark to the pump that you are going to fit.

Cheers

This may help you decide what to do.............

1. using 10mm and 12mm remove the inlet manifold/egr elbow
2. 1f your car is old shape remove the vacuum valve block, 2x 12mm, undo the plugs/piping from valves and fuel pump,pull if up slightly and bend it forward, it puts slight curve in the metal pips than run down and allow it to all slide out, if you have a new shape, ignore all that.
3.8mm nuts to remove fuel line clamps, 17mm x4 at each end to remove the fuel lines, i do the fuel pump end first.
4.can be done without removing metal centre plate but it doe make it easier if its out, from drivers side pull out the lower small console panel, theres a 12mm bolt there, also remove the 2 holding gear selector in place, disconnect all electrics and remove all 10mm bolts (about 8 iirc), leave the handbrake in place, lift the whole panel and stand/rest in on the folded back seats.
5.with the panel out you can get at the 10mm bolts holding cam cover in place, 2 from passenger side, the rest from drivers side, the lowest inside is a bit of a pain, then wiggle the cam cover off and out of the way.
6.the pump is held in place by 2 x 12mm nuts and 1 x 12mm bolt, the 2 at the front and a plate at the back,undo and leave them with lots of slack.
7. using a big socket 38mm, to lock the crank in place, use a 19mm socket to undo the nut in the middle of the lower/fuel pump pulley, there is a copper washer behind the nut.
8.if you have a puller/pusher then undo a pair of bolts on the pulley and use them to puse the pump out, if not, pull the carpet out and you'll see a hole covered with tape,in front/above the pulley, the pump shaft has an inversion in it so using a long pin punch, give it a couple of sharp hits and the pump will release from the taper,but be held in place by the 12mm nuts/bolts.
9.undo all remaining plugs, be aware that the rev counter wiring runs straight past the pump, undo the last 12mm and the pump should come out in your hand

refitting the pump can be tricky, the pump drive/locater (woodruff key) only sits in 1 of four positions (up,down,left,right) so you need to tweak the crank very slightly in order to get it to line up correctly, you can push it in and it feels like its in place but its not and you wont know til the cars fully assembled that you've got it wrong! my advice is to wiggle it in but keep an eye on the lower pulley (with cambelt still on it) and ensure that it remains 'flat' or in line with the engine, if the pump goes in wrong the pulley goes 'wonky', or pushes out slightly on one edge. As stupid as that sounds i've seen a car from a 'diesel specialist' doing exactly that! As with all things reaing it like that sounds like a lot but once its in front of you its not that much and you'll fly through it. If you need any more advice pm me
