Just turn the engine to #1 TDC and do the removal. Once the pump is out, you can loosen off the fitting where the plastic lock is located and use the timing gear nut to turn the pump clockwise while watching in the hole for the pump to come in to where you can insert the lock and then insert it with the v cut facing in and tighten down the fitting just snug. You'll have to remove it when the new pump comes as well and turn the lock 180 with the v cut facing out and then snug back down the fitting.
