My water pump won't come off. I know this issue has been covered in previous threads (love the automatic 'Similar Threads' feature on this forum BTW). All 4 bolts have been removed, copious amounts of PB Blaster applied, with much tapping with a small hammer & wood block but the water pump body will not release from the engine block. I also tried tapping the blade of a putty knife into the gasket joint, but no joy. I considered inserting a heavy wood dowel into the outlet pipe and yanking/banging on that, but I'm concerned about fracturing the pump body. I'm not a fan of the heat & beat method because of fire issues. Any other tricks to try? Thanks
