I agree with you. But in this case I was doing the job for the first time
and I couldn't see the bolts under the housing, only feel where I thought
they were. Things were made worse by a buildup of old grease and stuff
around the bolt heads.
Once I had removed the pump together with the side cover and cleaned the
bolt heads it all became clear and I was able to put the side cover on
first and then the pump using a socket for the two housing nuts.
The next time I do it there won't be any problem because I now know where
the things are and I know for sure that I can get a socket and wrench at them.
But I have to tell you I used some good anglo saxon, french, and bits of
other languages, probably back to Proto Ur and perhaps Neolithic.
