yes its still broken and im literaly stuck now. I followed the right i was given and it worked perfectly, but my housing is stuck on a stud. all the other studs came out except 1. The whole housing will turn so i kno the threads are loose, but i cant turn it enuf to take out the stud and i dont want to yank it off cuz i dont kno what its connected to. im worried about stripping the threading. im thinkin about heating the pump to c if it will expand n slide off the stud. but not really sure.
thanks every1

im removing the water pump housing. the part where the thermostat bolts 2. its loose but i cant get it off. 1 of the studs is stuck in the housing and i cant slide it off or remove the stud. When i turn the stud the whole housing moves, so i kno the stud is loose but its "frozen" inside the housing. So what do you u think i should do to get it out? i was thinkin of heating up then housing to c if it will expand and slide off the stud.

Try penetrating oil while tapping the housing with a hammer.

Heat of course will help, but use it in combination with the oil.
