Re: you'll only be able to access the bottom 3 with the pump in the car...
Actually, you can replace all 6 rivets without removing the pump from the car.
I removed the intercooler crosspipe to gain working room.
1) Remove the two plastic hoses and the electrical connection,
2) Remove the 3 10mm nuts from the rubber isolated mounting studs,
3) I found it easier to remove the mounting studs from the pump with a 17mm wrench so I could rotate the pump freely,
4) using a 5/32 drill bit I removed the old rivets,
5) I replaced then with 6 M4x1.5" long machine screws, using 2 washers and a nylock nut on each,
In the words of Robert Bentley... installation is reverse of removal.
