I've got all the bolts removed and I expected the water pump to drop with a tap of my hammer. It's really stuck on the gasket and I've used a chisel and a hammer to pry the pump loose with no luck. Any other ideas I can try?
are you sure all the bolts are loose?
there are 19 bolts
make sure you have the one right under the pully
pm me youre email and ill send the diagrams i have
but if bolts are out it should come off

Like 88beast says: make sure all the bolts are out. BUT also be sure to check the lengths so you don't put one too long in the top and run it against the IP gear. My normal practice on any vehicle I work on is to remove one at a time and put them in the new pump in the same place. Then transfer them back to the old when you get it off and that way you will know where they went. You may have to handle the same bolt 3 times but it's better than ruining your engine

I feel real stupid because I thought I got all the bolts off. I found the one that was hidden away and I had to feel for it. After I got the bolt off, the pump was still tough to get off because of the gasket compound that was used. Thanks 88Beast.
no problem man glad it worked i just did mine and had to scrape the gunk off it to find bolts lol
