well, back from the hospital only needed 2 stiches because of the motherfvcking waterpump.


honestly, am i retarted or is there a specail way to get it off, i took off all the nuts and one bolt; grabbed on and tried to pull it straight off; came off about 2 cm and then stopped


threw my weight into it a few times
nothing



got a long flat head screwdriver and a hammer got the screwdriver wedged in the gap and gave it a few good wacks; nothing


did that again only to have the craftsman screwdriver snap in half and put a nice size gash in the side of my finger that would not stop bleeding; nice 2 hour trip to the hospital and 2 stitches and some painkillers and im back trying to get the ************ off.


can anyone help a nub out here?

 

is the front pulley off? (only remove the 4 small bolts, don't touch in the big one in the middle)

 

**** that sux bro....dont feel too bad i was workin on my old 55 truck and i was cleaning the diff cover with a razor blade (worng move) it was brand new so i was cutting away from me and everything but then it slipped and almost cut my right index finger off, thank god this happend at school where we have a lil hospital there so i got 7 stiches and some painkillers.

 

front pully is not off, i dont see how that would prevent it from coming off; ill try that though whats teh best way to keep the pully from turning while i try to undo the bolts?

 

Lol.. the pulley on the h20 pump just barely hits the main pulleys You can remove the water pump without removing the main pulley.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes but chris1188 are you trying to remove the water pump + housing??

 

The whole motherfvcker; im trying to strip the engine down to a short block to ship off to have rebuilt.

need to get the exhuast manifold and lower intake manifold off and its done except for the bellhousing.

 

Ok the 4 bolts and the pulley will come off, may have to use a puller, I did.

 

Be careful prying around in there, you could damage the aluminum mating surfaces..

 

Or cut your finger.
