Whoever wrote this article is being extremely overcautious, in reality these pumps aren't that delicate.
I've removed 2.5 drive sprockets many times by knocking a wedge in between the pump sprocket and engine body many times and it really don't take a lot of effort to get the sprocket to pop off, same with the 2.8 drive gear, once the pump is off the vehicle that is, it's literally a five second job.
Using a puller on the other hand is hugely effort consuming (obviously not on a 2.5 as you Can't get a puller on unless the engine is removed) I have tried many times with a puller and it takes a lot of tightening to the point where you think there will be mechanical failure and some rather heavy hitting too, really not good for a pump internals 
Big screwdriver inserted in the right place, few taps from a hammer and pop, it's off in no time at all with not a lot of effort required

Interesting, useful info Mark. 
In your view, having done a few of them, can the top seals be done with the pump in place? Just for future reference...

Yes the top casing seal and the throttle spindle seal can be done with it in situ, that said I never had any luck doing them, two attempts and on both occasions the pump lost all throttle response and for the life of me I couldn't see why, on both occasions I replaced the pump at my cost and needless to say didn't attempt it again lol
