Water pump 352

I have a 352 FE and the fan assembly seems loose, but I cant tell if the water pump is the cause or if its loose hardware. Do I have to remove the fan to tighten the pully to the water pump?

Unless you've got a fan clutch, the bolts going thru' the fan also hold the pulley. If the bolts are tight, the looseness is in the pump. Time for a replacement.

I checked the fan assembly the bolts are not loose or appear as loose. The shaft assembly only wobbles slightly, and I am wondering how much life I have left in the pump, as I need my vehicle for the next few days.
