Hi, I'm replacing my water pump on a 2.3. I took the serpentine belt off, removed the 3 10mm bolts to the pulley, removed the three 8mm bolts to the water pump, and I have been trying to pry the water pump off for two hours. I chipped the main prying spot off.. And I've sprayed a lot of pb blaster. Any help???

 

Can you snap an image of the pump? Is it possible to see all sides of it? This will give me a better idea of what it may be stuck on. Do not pry too hard, or you risk breaking something else.

 

I got the water pump replaced, but in the process, I damaged one of the pressured lines to the ps pump.. Have to try and fix that tomorrow.
