Ok, here is a picture of where I am at. The pump is free from the block and the tubes. I even managed to get the little bolt that is craftily hidden by the vibration damper.

So far I have worked on it patiently without uttering anything unseemly but now I am wondering "What the heck were they thinking?"

How do I get it out from behind the tube? Does the vibration damper have to come off? And if yes, how do I hold it while undoing the central bolt? I can't get an airwrench in there...

Or can I undo the pipe? It seems to be attached to the front of each head but not sure about that.

Any help appreciated. This is the last step before getting parts and it has me a bit worried. I can always cut a piece of the pipe out..... :-)
