You can actually do the whole job without dropping the cradle. It's a little tighter fit, but there is room to get the hoses off and the bolts out without dropping the cradle. Then you can position the pump so that you can get the pulley remover tool (which you can rent from AutoZone) on and pull the pulley with it still in the engine bay. Then the pulley slips right out. You then have to flip the pump around backwards and Tetris it just right, but without the pulley, it will slip up and over the engine mount and roll right out of the engine bay. Installation is the reverse of removal, just get the pump into the engine bay, rotate it around, slip the pulley back up and in, and press the pulley onto the pump in the engine bay. Replace the bolts, install the hoses, and you're off and running.
I have removal tool, but if drop craddle it alot quicker, an no special tools needed to drop it, i know some go out the bottom an remove cv shaft, but doing mobile repair i like quick so can go onto next job

When you drop that subframe assembly you have to redo the alignment
Yes and no, it can throw it off, but not by much, i tell customers after control arms, tie rods etc an alignment is recommended, but how many do
