It doesn't matter how you flush the system, you'll still get covered in water when you take the pump off. Promise.

PIPE! PIPE! Yes I'm shouting !
We've gone from pipe to pump in one fell swoop, how did that happen ?
Don't remove the pump, you'll be one very unhappy bunny putting it all back !!
14 bloody chuffing bolts IIRC when I did my old 2.3 V6 grandad

Yep pump is different thread though - you have to keep up around here!
