There are 5 12mm bolts and a bracket at the top of the pump held with a

12mm bolt, you may have to pry the pump off the water tube because the seal will be stuck to the pump.

thanks for the info, but I am assuming you are speaking of the backing plate being stuck to the water tube as it is 2 pcs, once again thanks

Well the pumps that I use come complete from the dealer. Backing plate and all. I would highly recommend using a mopar pump for this vehicle
