Dear All,
I tried to replace the water pump on my 306 along with the timing belt but ran into problems removing the water pump, the pump refuse to budge and was seized in the engine block despite having removed the two mounting screws.
I have tried knocking the flange of the water pump hoping to free up the pump but to no avail. I also tried to pull the pump out by gripping the pully but still no joy.
Please help.
Thanks,
Water Pump Woes

if it wont budge the other thing is brut force i.e bashing it with a softheaded hammer. And maybe you should try spraying around it with wd40 or something similar but make sure you clean it away afterwards before fitting the new belt because you dont want this stuff getting on your new cambelt because it will cause it to go weak and snap over time
