Short answer: Nope, you have to remove the pump mounting bolts. You may be able to move the pump aside enough to get the shaft out without removing the lines, depending on how yours is set up.

Just an idea. I have seen people ratchet tie another v belt to the radiator for quick replacement. May or may not be a good idea, and yes I do believe you will have to remove pump mounting bolts. :) Have fun
