Water pump shit the bed aout a month ago and this is the first chance I have had to replace it. Does it come off willingly, of course not. To the best that I can figure it, the nipple on the front of the water pump pully is jammed into the back of the fan clutch. and of course the back of the water pump pully is rusted/siezed to the front of the water pump as well.
I tried prying gently, I tried love taps with a hammer. Then I tried a bit more force. No joy, any suggestions? I think it knows that I am trying to fix it so I can either sell it or use it as a trade in.
