Had a dull moment when I did the first one of these years ago, got it into my head I had to take the pump out, made a right job of it.... Doh!

I took the photo p out in the first few, then I realised you could swing the pump out of the way! Doh.

I've not done this job myself yet, can't remember the exact layout off the top of my head but I take it the pump is in the way then but removal not required

No, just remove the pump securing screw. Two underneath and one bottom left of the pump from memory.

No need to touch the pump the compete diverter valve can be removed and replaced with the pump still in situ

Yes, but it's easier with it swung out the way a little.
