water pump help
im replacing a water pump in my 91 miata and ive got all the bolts off the timing belt out of the way and everything else but the water pump is stuck where its inside the block...ive tried wiggling it out no luck. i put the pully back on and tried pulling from there with no luck.
the whole pump can wiggle in any direction. it seems to piviot at one point, thats why im saying it might be stuck in the block
any ideas as to how i can get this pump out? any tricks i should know?

it piviots on where the wheel of the pump is inside the block.. i know the pump is broken because it makes a nasty noise when its spun(hence why im replacing it). im thinking thats the problem tho

just yank the bastard out, if its broken it cant hurt anything. It may have been replaced by a previous owner and they may have used high tack on the gasket. Which once it sets is a bitch. If you are 110% sure all the bolts are out your next bet is to get in there with a screwdriver or pry bar and start prying on it
