I have done it both ways.

If you don't have power trim and want to tilt the engine to get the LU off: forward.

If you have the room under the engine as it sits upright to pull the LU out of the mid section: neutral.

Don't change either the LU or the shifter while you work on the water pump.

If you turn the drive shaft a bit, (try not to do that), turn the flywheel a little bit to get the LU back in the splines at the base of the crankshaft when ya put her back in.

Hope that helps. JR
