Look'n for a little advice in a water pump swop.
I took the radiator shroud, lower antifreeze tubing, fan, and pulley off the water pump on my automatic 92 F-150. I have the four bolts out of the pump on the engine block, but it is still on there. I've hit it with a mallet, tried prying behind it with a crowbar/screw driver, etc. It won't budge. The heater tube is still connected slightly but it has plenty of play and I will get it off after the pump loose.
Any recommendations? I sprayed the pump's base with WD40 -- need to find some PB Blaster (might actually be out?!) and that might help too in the morning.
Is there a trick to disengaging the pump from the housing? I'm thinking the manifold seal congealed to the mounting point and it's really stuck on there between that and rust.
Looking for any ideas on how to get this pump disengaged. Thanks!
