You need to be careful of the reluctor wheel.

Jeffvette,

Out of the car, what is the best method for the center bolt. Pipe wrench(strap)?

Put two flywheel bolts in and a pipe in between them. When rotated it will lodge itself against the engine stand.

Removed the water pump, appears to be alittle rust on the back of the impeller, will post pics later. I also made sure to tape down the bolts in order to keep them in order on the water pump.



Removed the timing cover bolts, I assume that the seal needs to be removed prior to pulling the cover off. I will tackle that piece tomorrow.

Seal remains in place in the front cover when it's removed. Word of caution, be careful with the large metal "washer" on the crank. The face is a precision lapped flat surface for sealing against the carbon/graphite oil pump seal. If it is dinged or scratched, the oil pump seal will leak.

or use a long Grade 8 bolt & let it hit the back-brace of your stand. either way will get it done.
