I didn't take the top bolt out either, but it would've been much easier if I had. The pump doesn't want to just "slide out" as it hits the transmission mount (I think that's what it was) and has to be finagled around a lot for it to come out.
The biggest part for me was just getting the hoses off, took me a bit to think of using vise grips, they saved me.

agreed, hardest part is the hose clamps... which is where that hose clamp tool comes in handy. seriously that thing is amazing, and the only reason i purchased one is b/c i got pissed at the hose clamps on this damn pump LOL... however i have used it tons of times since then on other jobs, and it really is one of the greatest tools ever invented imo.
