How do i remove the water pump?
I've got no books to look at, so here'* where i am
i got the alt, alt support, resivoir, and lower radiador hose off
but i cant get the water pump off, what are the chances of it being welded? j/k there'* prolly a bolt i cant find or something but where are they all? i kinda got to put this back together soon... my sister cant drive my stick-shift p/u and i have had my fun driving her around... could i also get a heads up on anything else that may get me confuseded

i did get the pump pulley off. I started taking off 13mm and 10mm bolts working around the water pump, i got a few out and the front of the water pump fell off. It fell right off. its like it split in half or something. but whatever it just got dark so ill have to work more on it tomorrow

hey i just thought of something i need, when can you be by my house? 
heh, i think thats the only way this will get done. The front of the motor looks like nothing ive ever seen
i expected the front of the water pump the have four bolts and pop right off, it had eight..
I'm really lost now looking at the front of the engine. I tihnk ill just pull the harmonic and go from there tommorrow, as i expect the back half of the water pump is cast into the timing cover... craziest thing ive ever seen

belt diagram
I am also replacing my water pump and was wondering if anyone has a diagram on putting the belt back on? I need to know how exactly it winds around.
