trouble removing water pump

danielson631 · Nov 1, 2009

i started to change my water pump and everything went smooth up until now. i took out all four of the bolts and i still cant get it out. i tried yanking it, taping it with a rubber mallet i sprayed liquid breaker on it and it budged, but it wont come out.

anyone have any tips or advice on what i can do to help this thing come out?

Im assuming your running a 4v correct.... ? if so is the engine... it should look like this ???

well if so here are you holes and how it looks....

to get it out you need to take the big black pulley off the snount. then you can access the bolts holding it in. after that you should be able to get at it and maybe use a pry bar (be careful !!! its an aluminum block) and work the pump loose.

after i posted this i went outside and tried a little more and i gave it a little bit of heat too and it came out nice and easy. guess it was just really in there thanks for the tips though and good pictures to show things more clearly
