Never done one of those aggravating things? Where the rod wants to slide down and you can't get the new pump in place? Until some old timer tells you about the bolt trick that holds the rod up in place. The good old days.
What worked for me was, assuming that you had the cover off too, putting some grease on one end of the rod and sticking that end into the block. That would hold the rod up long enough the get the plate and pump back on the engine.
