I've never seen one. Must be because the A4LD is so easy. There are a number of procedures in this thread of 50+ posts (4 pages). This thread is located at:

I can't stress this enough. Hae a large quantity of paper bags and mark each piece you remove. Markings will come off plastic bags. It is important to marke the locations of the thrust washers because these are selective thicknesses. You will be inclined to tear things apart rather quickly. DO NOT UNBOLT THE PUMP. You will need a special tool if you do. If it is not leaking you can probably skip replacing the front seal. Consider doing just a repair. That is what a lot of shops do anyway. Bands are directional and keep them tied in a circle unless you are replacing them. Always get a new OD star washer. These get a little bend (about 0.020) that will cause you problems later. Pull things out as assemblies and leave them alone till you work on them.
