Yeah, there is. A pump shaft locking tool. I just got one for my rebuild -- you may borrow it when I'm finished it.

I have my entire motor in pieces right now, so I'm approaching re-install from a different perspective, but from what I remember reading the FSM -- set the crank to 15 deg. atdc or something such; lock down the pump; remove; reseal; replace. Just make sure the crank doesn't turn whilst pump is away and you should be good.

Oh yeah, that IP shaft bolt attaching it to the timer is left hand thread. I remembered that right after I snapped off the bolt head!!

'Course, I may be wrong about the exact procedure, but worry not, someone will chime in soon to make corrections!
