It's been a few years since I did a rebuild and have only done a few. It seems to me that all of the pumps I pulled had additional threaded holes that I screwed bolts into to "push" the pump out. Removed all of the bolts holding the pump in and then threaded/ran the bolts in to remove the pump. Didn't need a slide puller.
Russ...
Those threaded holes are intended for using a slide hammer... It you thread bolts in to force the pump out your pushing against the bolt hole in the case that secures the pump to the case & you risk damaging the threads in the aluminum case... I've seen guys do it & get away with it but I've also seen guys have to heli-coil what was a good case...
