Two weeks ago I had to replace my water pump too. I heated mine up with a propane torch. Rember lock tight when you put it back on. I read on here some people put it on with out it and it came off & flew in to the raditor. I didn't have any special tools. I used a skinny pipe wrench & a box end wrench on one of the bolts on the clutch. I also just took the front end off(grill etc etc) & that made it alot easier. That is what worked for me.

Friend of mine had told me to use an air hammer and chisel to get it moving, but if it was lock tited, it wil need to be heated most likely to release it.

Jack-Iowa,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
Do pay close attention to which holes which bolts come out of. They need to go back in the same place to keep from getting a longer bolt against the timing gears.
Also the bolts that end in the center of the timing gear cover need thread sealant on them.
