2006 VP 5.7 water circulation pump - removeable without removing other parts first??

[soverholser]

Hi I've got a volvo penta 5.7 GI-e that I need to replace the circulation pump on. Does anything else have to be removed first to get that pump off? Just wondering if anyone has done it on this engine and if the 4 bolts into the block are the only thing needed to remove and replace it, beyond the flywheel bolts.

Thanks for the help,

Stephen

1 loosen the 4 bolts in the pulley
2 remove belt and pulley bolts if a serpentine take a few pics on how its routed.
3 remove large hose, then the 4 mounting bolts ,they are different lengths so make a note of it ,then any remains of the gasket
4 RTV the gaskets on the pump, install mounting bolts, large hose, pulley, and belt

Thanks @Bt. Seems like a straight forward swap. Just wanted some sort of validation before getting into it and finding a big gotcha.
Thx again.

Follow up - RTV and bolt alignment for reinstall was a little tricky but got it swapped. Thx again
