i have a 77 300 that I am tearing down and rebuilding from the ground up. In the middle of the tear down, I got caught up on trying to remove the water pump. Could anyone help me out there?

 

What seems to be the problem with your water pump removal, they usually are pretty straight forwards. No broken bolts I hope.

 

The last 300 water pump I changed was maybe the easiest water pump I ever had to mess with. Even with a/c and all the associated bracketry it only took about 2 hours.

 

Well I need to be able to remove the pully to access the one bolt to it, to be able to get the timing cover off to pull the cam. I'm borrowing the puller from my father, so I will see later on if I need help any longer.

 

We got the pully off, turns out it was just being a pita. Just beat it with a mallet till it popped

 

Ya shouldn't need a puller for a water pump pulley. They just get stuck on after a few years.
