Thanks - I plan to support the shaft while knocking both pins out . Then slide the fan back and push the now released coupling back as far as it will go. This should give me enough room to get the pump housing off and away without taking the whole driveshaft out. I could probably get the seal out without moving the front but wanted to look inside also and check the bearing etc.. im sure I've read that this method is another way to do it. I'm happy to stand corrected though . The supporting of the drive shaft was mentioned in the service manual when driving out the pin closest to the fan ....I was just concerned with the 2 Nd pin closer to the pump and if any further support was needed closer to it.
Thanks
