Hey Strat- think of it this way maybe: the pump stays on the engine for now. The *cover* over the pump, is the part that comes off first. The cover is bolted to the pump, which is turn, bolted to the engine. ONLY THE COVER CAN POSSIBLY COME OFF FIRST, NOT THE COVER AND THE PUMP AT THE SAME TIME.
-Remove completely, the two bolts in the roughly 2:00 and the 8:00 oclock positions.
-Loosen ONLY, those two pesky bolts in the 12:00 and 6:00 positions behind the frame rails, out as far as they can, without them touching the frame, and that third centre bolt as much as wanted, or removed entirely.
Now the cover pulls out slightly, and then slides off, down and back towards the rear of the bike. You are simply removing and loosening bolts that hold the cover to the pump, not removing the pump. The cover may need healthy tapping on the front, from left to right as you face it, to get it off the pump body itself.
Only once the cover is off, can the pump come out.
