Yeah, that thing is a huge pain in the neck to get off

BTW, careful with the water pump. I went to reinstall my stock one after a cam swap, and even using the Ford torque specs and a torque wrench, it cracked in several places.

Instead of taking the pump off just remove the how bracket and pump in one peice and bungee it up out of the way to remove the pump and reinstall it.
