Yes I have the new pump. That's the thing, I've removed all 11 bolts, still nothing. i get movement on the left and right side, but nothing in the middle of the pump. would love to just wedge the crowbar and pry it out, just limited on areas that would allow me the leverage. Im truly stumped

 

I bought the Lisle 43300. It's awesome. You do need an air hammer to use it though.

 

Can you hit the back of the fan hub with a sledge hammer?

 

Yeah, I've been using the 5lb hammer and crow bar- hitting that stubborn sob from every angle. 2 hour job has turned into a 2 day job....craziness

 

Are you sure the bolts you removed came out of the water pump and not something next to it? I had a car towed in once that a mounting bolt for the power steering pump was removed and the water pump still had a bolt in it.

 

I was thinking the same thing, but i have inspected that entire area, even removed my radiator, just to have a better vantage point- unfortunately no hidden bolts.

 

What engine do you have? Has the coolant been kept changed every 5 years or so? The anti-freeze part never goes away but the anti-corrosion part fades after 3 to 5 years. Then dis similar metals can weld themselves together through electrolysis.

 

Some pictures might help.
