Quick question about water pump removal


Recommended Posts

I'm getting nervous because of the amount of force I'm having to use to get the water pump off so I thought I should stop and ask someone..

 

I've taken 5 bolts out of the cover

I've taken 4 remaining bolts out of the housing..

 

Does the housing just pry off now?? And I should expect the impeller to come off with the housing? I don't have to somehow remove the impeller first do I?

 

My housing isn't budging.

 

I see that I've got the plastic impeller so thats gotta go, along with replacing the mechanical seal and what not.

Must have been too embarrassing to share.:doh::confused24:

I'm not one to shy away from looking like a fool so others may learn.... The PO seems to have used a particularly tough gasket and sealant combo. I just found a good leverage point and a long enough fulcrum and it popped of..

So alls good.... For now. I'll continue with the engine teardown tomorrow.
