I can't seem to get the water pump housing out. I tryed to remove all the studs.. but was only able to remove.. Don't want to risk snaping the other two studs. Any suggestions would help..

what I done so far: Beat the **** out with a hammer, mallet, and 20lb monkey wrench.
Apply a torche to it and try to break it loose:
Pull on it with all my might.

Don't know what else I can do to break it free.

Dude, you must have another bolt or nut on somewhere if beating it doesn't break it free...I can't imagine it being that corroded, but it actually does look pretty gunked up in the pic, lol...See if you can get anything behind it and use the front iron for leverage...

Yea, I used to crow bar and the front iron to try to pry it.. no go.. And there are no more nuts left, only 5 go into the engine.

Your studs must be corroded to hell then, "welding" the housing on. That sucks...Does any part of the housing move at all? Like the gasket area?

Not at all. Going to keep messing with it see if I can break it loose.

Seems like the bottom stud is fucked, top snaped while trying to break it loose, Goign to drill into the housing to break it loose. See how that goes tomorrow.
