I've got a 1958 235 engine, that I'm just getting into. Went to take the water pump off. 4 bolts came out just fine. Pump won't budge from it's location.

I tapped LIGHTLY with a hammer on the pump housing. No budge. I pryed GENTLY between the block and the pump outlet. No budge.

Any suggestions?

Try a bigger hammer? ohwell You might try using a large punch and a hammer to try to rotate it to break the seal.

If all the bolts are out, the only thing left is the sealer and gasket. I don't see how you could break anything except the water pump and I'm guessing your replacing it anyway. It just fits in that round hole. Wack it...
