First Over view of what i got going on:
Closer:
My Problem, the far right black bracket overlapping the water pump is causing me to not be able to remove it, well at least i think thats my problem, so where should i go from here or how should i move it etc:

OK cool, got it. easy enough, now my next question; best way to clean off and seal the new gasket, does it need any sealant or just a good cleaning and put on the new gasket, seems to be a pain to clean off at the moment and dont really want to take an abrasive to it

New oem pump and new oem gasket, with a thin coating of hylomar ideally. Hopefully you cleaned the mating surface well with a razor blade, or you'll have a leak.
Btw, you got robbed at $250 if that was an oem pump. Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda sells them for half that.

It was the upgraded maz Mart but from the quality I would say I still got robbed ya razor and took a Brillo pad to it to smooth it out. Think the sealant is really neccesary? What's your reasoning, cause they don't use anything at the factory do they?
Thanks again guys

I would contact Maz Mart for a replacement. I have had a brand new OEM pump fail with in 45 minutes of road racing, so it does happen. Got a free replacement and it has been good since (about 100 hours on it now). So sounds like you just got unlucky and got a defective pump.

So is just regular old advance auto permatex hylomar ok? Or should I use something else?
And also got my new pump on Friday and I have to swap the pulley, before I go an attempt to tackle it with no experience, any tricks or tips to getting it off and swapping it?
Thanks guys.
