[V8] Stick a fork in the V8 I am done ;-)

[Ed Kellock]

There are several x-caps on the pump.  If you're lucky and it's not one
that's covered (that's about all BUT one) then you'll need a sorta special
tool that is kind of like a very large common screwdriver that is a socket.
I believe they're called impact drivers.  The official torque on the caps is
not great, but if it hasn't been off in a long while or if it's been off and
overtorqued, it may take some patience.  I pulled the pump to replace the
o-ring on mine the first time and paid the price in that I found the
mounting bolts for the pump, actually the holes they bolt into, were
stripped.  I got it back together okay and then had to replace the o-ring
again (my fault).  I did not want to disturb the mounting bolts again so I
did it while on the car.
