freakshow Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 If you managed to get all the bolts out, make sure you got all of them, and you dont have them all broke, and its just the gasket holding it in place, take a block of wood, 2x4 or whatever and place it on the pump and hit it with a hammer, the wood, not the pump. It should come right loose. If the bolts are broken, do the same thing carefully. and use vise grips on the bolt stumps. If you cannot even get the bolts loose, you will probably break them when you try to unbolt it. If you want good answers, you have to post good questions.. Vague questions will get poor response, or sent to the tool shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 be careful to not have it pop off and hit the radiator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renatodato Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Study the new water pump and locate the mounting bolts. When you're confident all mounting bolts are out, give it a confident and deliberate whack with a wooden stick as mentioned by Freakshow.
