I have an issue removing my water pump I have all three bolts out but the pump still will not come out the motor is still in time please help need fixed asap

I'm guessing duratec (Dual over head cam 2.3L 2001+) it's held in by the O ring still just have to really beat on it to get it to come out

Thanks for that tip!


I knew there was an o-ring, but I didn't realize it was that hard to get out. I plan on doing a complete flush and hose replacement in the spring. That usually means the water pump will go out a few days later.

I know this will sound blasphemous, but this is an outstanding price on Amazon for a new Bosch.

No problem, when mine went bad it was a pita to get out, it was really stuck in there. Just carefully be rough with it and it will come out.

So the o ring is the only thing holding it in there?
