I've already got no heat, that's why I'm replacing the circulator, which

a
replacement.

It's still messy, but if you close every valve you can, take the pressure
off, you can do a quick swap out.

I don't have hot water heat, but if I were closing every valve I
could, I would make a list of every valve I closed, and what its
position was before I started closing it.

It seems like there are too many valves to keep track of otherwise.

Put a bucket under it. Put a little pressure on the pipe (going into the
circulator. Getting someone to help you is much easier) and remove/loosen
the flange bolts. have a couple rags ready and stuff them in the flanges.
Sure it's gonna leak a little, but it's better than a full-fledge flow.
