How to Pry Old Water Pump off 97 Civic
Well, I got the crankshaft pulley off...
I've removed the three bolts with 10mm heads on the water pump and the larger bolt for the alternator that goes through the water pump housing.
It started getting dark and I didn't try with much other than a small screwdriver and trying to hold the pulley on water pump with my hands and banging on it with a hammer, but, it is not budging.
Is there a trick to it. This is a used car and I don't know anything about the water pump that is on it or whether it was installed with a lot of sealant or just the O ring gasket.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
