I thought it would be easier to unplug the module but after a day of trying to bend the pump around and not even getting to the bottom left screw, let alone being able to get the module off I gave up and decided to replace to whole unit. From what I have read the pump itself and most of the module are very well built, the fault is down to the wires inside the module connecting the pins to the board. I'm not entirely sure what the electrical link to the speedo is but during looking into fixes for the problem I read an advert along the lines of 'ABS light out, Engine light on, speedo dropping out then have your abs module repaired by us etc etc' and see there is some sort of wheel speed sensor circuit in the module, maybe they are linked?
It would be good if someone trying to do this could try to move the pump around to an angle they can get the module off. I couldn't but that's not to say it can't be done. The room around the module will also be affected by car age and spec, my engine bay seems pretty packed and there are other components too close.
