Hello John

Where does one get the "new formed silicone hoses"?

The only pulley that has to come off is the coolant pump pulley and it is a split type or two part pulley. It's a bit of a cantankerous job, but can be done. The cross over pipe that goes under the 3 groove pulley is made to slide out and then back in, but man, you have to stand on your left foot, set your jaw just right, and make sure yor hair is combed to the left to get it out and back in. But it is doable. Once you have ever done this pump replacement you''l never forget how.

I did mine in my driveway.

Be sure you have new formed silicone hoses that attach to tthe pump, because this is one job you don't want to have to repeat anytime soon!
