there's a timing hole on the cam pulley and one on the flywheel. The one on the head is pretty easy to see but the one on the flywheel isn't! It's behind the starter at front of block, you need a special tool that has a couple of bends in it to get it to fit in the hole! Just a std pin similar to the camshaft locking pin but it needs to be shaped to get it into position. The pump itself isn't timed so doesn't need locked (well it is meant to be locked as it's balanced but wouldn't bother ;))

You use the tool, its number 3 on that PDF, its just behind the starter, you can remove the starter if you want.

As above, that tool manages to clear things that are in the way. You can see the hole so it's not too difficult.

 

Personally i've never taken the starter out, by the time you've taken the starter out, you'll have found the hole.

You don't need a tool to lock the flywheel off, a suitable sized Allen key does the job. Obviously with the starter removed.

To be honest, a long 6mm Allen key can be used without removing the starter - save a bit of hassle!

indeed, the correct tool is a long cranked 8mm rod tp avoid having to remove stuff.
