How to tighten the water pump pulley bolts?
i can do this easliy with the pump and pulley out of the car... but with everything on the car... any ideas on how to the water pump pulley bolts good? i cant really seem to get a good grip on it. Using a wrench on a bolt in between 2 other bolts only work when loosening. Any methods?

Well there are 2 ways of doing this:
1. I did with a tool I was a lowes. Is has a rubber belt to it and a handle. It looks a lot like a oil filter tool but if adjustable to what ever size and is can get pretty tight.
2. Stick a screw driver in one of the holes to lock the pulley with the flanges on the water pump body but this way you can only get to 3 bolts. If you over torque one then you can use that one to get to the 4th one but it will be tricky.
