The Kit in my photo is a Bosch. It has everything necessary to do a reseal except the shaft seal. Installing a shaft seal obviously requires removal of the IP.
Pulling the pump adds hours to the job, including re-tensioning the Timing Belt and setting the timing, etc. Many of the Gurus advise against re-using the tensioner once it has been tensioned. But, if something goes wrong while doing the reseal, which I doubt, you've got it right there on the bench to tackle.
