I didn't pull the crank pulley when I replaced mine. I had trouble because I got the worng belt, there are two different belts for an 850, depends on your serial number. Check the right front motor mount while you are there, I found that mine was cracked, they are for sale on ebay so I assume it's common failure. As far a replacing the waterpump, if you are doing it during the week, and you have a parts place nearby, I wouldn't buy one unless there is signs of weepage from the pump when you get the cover off. I plan to change mine at the next belt change of 140k, which will coencide with my next radiator flush. I took mine apart one evening, and back together the next morning, was test driving by 11am. Good Luck! Chuck.
