Danke, Herr Frederick
I was guessing it would be a long job because when i was working on the
Tandem PS pump i didn't see a way to get the bracket off without first
taking the pump out first. Just taking out the tandem pump I thought was a
bear. (compared to OM 621/616 engines)
That is the type of BTDT info I was looking for!
I have started the disassembly. I am going to take the radiator out also,
because I want to flush the system and having the radiator our will make
access easier.

6 hours, almost to the minute.
You must remove the bracket for the PS pump, but need to remove the
pump, just loosen it. You don't need to touch the AC bracket or pump.
You also do not need to remove the screw that holds the heater pipe, it
has a slot. A real bear to get back if if you do (as I did). Make
sure you have a new o-ring for that pipe, and I would replace the short
hose between thermostat housing and pump (or whatever it is) -- you
really must remove the pump to change it.
A swivel will be required to get to the rear bolts on the WP. Make
sure the surface of the head is clean, you don't want to have to do
this again because the o-ring leaked.
Without PS, this is about a 30 min job.....
