[V8] monkey lads strike again

[Ed Kellock]

Oh yeah, the bolts in the rear of the pump were ok.  There are two that
hold the X bracket to the mounting bracket and then two that hold
the pump to the bracket.  All those are fine.  It's the two bolts in front
that I'm having trouble with.

Yeah, I removed the rad fan and the driver's side tbelt cover to maneuver
the pump out and up.  Worked like a charm.
