Water Pump Pulleys
OK, I am trying to install the water pump pulley. But it will not clear the e-shaft pulleys. I don't remember this to be the case when I took the original engine out (but then that was three years ago).
Does the e-shaft pulley have to come off first?
Or can I just remove the water pump pulley/fan studs and work the pump pulley assembly over the eshaft pulley?
Or could it be that I have the wrong pulley on the new engine?
Any thoughts?

Well, I answered at least part of this question myself.
After removing the studs on the water pump, I still cannot get the pump pulleys to clear the e-shaft pulley.
So I have to remove the shaft nut and the pulleys.
Hope they are the right eshaft pulley assembly for the car because the old ones went back with the engine.

But before I tried to remove the hub bolt (I'd remembered what a PITA that was...) I decided to read a few posts here and found multiple threads stating the same.
When I went did go to remove the main pulleys, I found that there were only two bolts holding it and they were both fairly loose. I imagine Mazda had already anticipated this.
Now I need to go out tomorrow and try to find two #8 bolts.
Thanks again.
