904 disassembly

Take bolts out of pump and stand it up bellhousing. Tap on tailshaft with dead blow. Pump will fall out. If anally retentive regarding the pump falling out, put a couple longer bolts in the pump so it drops out to the bolt heads.

One friend of mine just picks the thing up and drops it lightly on the bellhousing.

I've never used a slide hammer or any special tools to get a pump out. The 727 rebuild video has the same approach.

Lots of ways to skin a cat.
