Hooooooly hell. That was unpleasant, but it's done. I was unable to figure out how to get a decent angle onto the upper bracket bolt, but with the wheel removed and a little more elevation off the ground, I was able to painfully unscrew the rear pump bolts about 3º at a time (after accidentally breaking the plastic mount for the transmission cooler hard lines), by reaching through the left side splash guard, using a ratcheting 10mm box end. If I ever have to do this again (please, no.) I'll spring for either a stubby ratcheting box end, which will be able to get more rotation in before hitting the hard lines, or I'll get some magic long-reach, low-profile electric ratchet handle that probably costs as much as having a shop do the pump for me.
Thanks all for the suggestions and photos, I would have gone nuts without your help.
