Angry how do i get the waterpump pulley out?

hey guys .. im buying a new waterpump from GMC but i need to take out the pulley.. but as i try to take the 2 bolts that hold the pulley in place, the bottom of the waterpump makes it impossible for me to get it out... what do you guys recommend? i have an extra pulley that i bought 5 days ago.
does anyone have the 2 screws? just in case i cant get them out? i tried penetrating solution and wd-40 but nothing works.

2 screws?? there are 4 bolts on the water pump pulley. The pulley should slide right off unless you have PS and AC then you have to take those pulleys off the eccentric shaft so you can pull the pump pulley off.

The Main Crank Pulley has to be removed In order for the Water Pump Pulley to clear for removal.

Guys his water pump is off the car already. But he still has two bolts holding it on the pump. I told him to grab the pully with one hand and loosen the bolt with the other but he can't. I did it this way with my pully but apparently he can't.

put the pump back on the engine so at least you dont have to use your hand to hold it. then take a screwdriver place it between the 2 of the 4 shafts the fan clutch bolts to and with your other hand use a ratchet to loosen the 2 bolts you can get off. If you need more leverage get a piece of pipe and slip it over the end of the ratchet.
