Hi first time here having troubles with my 97 Avenger ES 2.5L V6. It is leaking coolant from both ends from the pipe in the middle (leaking from red circled areas) and I am having a hell of a time trying to get the pipe out to replace the seals, Basicly the distributor is blocking some bolts I need to removed to take the whole water pump assembly off so I can remove the pipe, There are 2 screws on the distributor that I removed but it will not come off likes its still attached somewhere, I only see 2 bolts tho that i took off. Basicly can someone help me and tell me how to get the whole pump assembly off so I can replace the pipe comeing out the back of the water pump! Sorry im a total car noobie lol any help would be a HUGE help! Heres a pic

 

Wow, I don't know what to tell you. I can remember how tight it was in there. By chance, do you have a manual to refer to?
