If the radial seal is leaking, you don't have to take the pump and mount off the car. You can pull the front off and get to the seals that are most likely leaking. The first time I took the pump off, and put it on, it took about 8 hours. Now, I think I could do it in about three. It's a PITA, especially the back two pump bracket bolts (13 mm). You will have to snake your arm up there from underneath. You won't be able to see the bolts--just feel for them. Good luck.
If you decide just to take the front off, the last picture shows 5 of the six bolts that need to come out in order to pull the front half of the pump off without removing the bracket. Be careful when you pull it out though because the blades will fall out and you need to know how to get them back correctly.
