Often the pulley must be pressed off to gain access to the mounting bolts. The pulley must be removed first to remove the pump. The tool that presses the pulley off is sold at all McParts stores and is a loaner at many. Installing the pulley on the new pump is more often a problem than removing it. The nut and bolt that karl sieger mentioned will work nearly as well as the tool but either require some patience.
