I didnt have one of them at the time!
I drove round for 12 months after doing it, and then replaced the
timing belt when i rebuilt the engine. there was nowt wrong with the
old one.

Mine is keyed with one of those little half circle keys that go in a
cut out (woodruff key?)
So there is only one possible posision it can go into
There is also a removable rubber bung on my timing cover that exactly
corresponds with the hole, so you can see what youre doing from the
other side.
I just undid all the fuel pipes.
Took the bung off the timing cover.
Then i think there is a nut under it that holds the timing gear onto
the driver bit at the end of the pump. undo that
Removed the 3 studs holding the timing pump on.
then i think it just requires a bit of levering to remove it form the
gear, being carefull not to drop the key bit (which should be well
wedged anyway).
Repeat in reverse in a few days time when you have it back again.

Unless the LR version differs from my sherpa one?. I know that the
timing casing is different (and my timing belt is a different length).
Wouldnt have thought it would differ that much though
