Pointers for Water Pump Pulley Removal

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

You might also try hammering a torx head in there it's got more bit in a

should break it free... remember the penetrating oil too! (after the heat,
lots of smoke - no fire, if you put the oil on before heat... mmmmm fire!)
but I digress....
