"Fully remove".... as in, take the head right off? Or just as in "remove far enough to get at the seal"?
Fully remove as in like you said, remove the pump from the car. Once removed you can put the pump in a vise vertically and remove the pump head completely when you put the new seal on. The rollers won’t fall apart that way.

So, with the pump vertical in a vise, you can just pull the head up & out, and nothing internal comes apart? I have a spare IP I want to reseal.
