What I am talking about is the replacement of the ENTIRE water pump, not
just the front half that contains the impeller and the pulley

  Ugh, I know what you mean.  I had to do mine.  It was cavitated badly.
I honestly don't remember for sure if I had to pull the pump to do the job.
I'm thinking that I had to.  I do remember during initial engine
assembly it seems like I put the injector pump on first and then had to
pull it back off in order to get the water pump on!  I know on my Rabbit
an open end wrench can get in there and remove those bolts (at least
I'm pretty sure.)  :)
