    To remove the water pump you must remove the crankshaft pulley... (i.e. the "harmonic blancer" or "vibration dampener," whatever you want to call it) It's in the way of getting to the last bolt holding the pump on.

    The problem is solved though, I managed to get it off with the help of a friend (it made it tons easier). there are 7 or so little bolts holding the actual pulley to the hub and its just a bitch to get them all off.

    Waterpump bolt tightening torque is very little so it does feel loose coming off. Do not overtighten it.
