I use it because I got it in the kit, but I've heard of people using some sort of puller kit instead, maybe it was a steering wheel puller, or universal puller kit. You can probably find something for cheap or fab one up. Trying to remove it without a puller is really difficult.
Oh, and that's just for the sprocket, getting the pump out of the mount will probably require making an appropriate jig, and a shop press. I know people have used a hammer, but that has ended badly at least once, as they get welded in there really bad with corrosion.
