I'm working on a 1979 4 cylander 244 I'm having a hard time removing the fan from the water pump, to then access the water pump, remove it and then replace the water pump. The 4 bolts have been removed and it's stuck - I'm stuck! What to do next? I really AM STUCK! If anyone could tell me how to proceed with removing that, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thank you very much already :) Lapis

If it's being replaced, then you can be even more brutal, as needed, BUTTT make sure there's NOTHING still bolting it on. Gaskets and masticks are sometimes quite sticky. a 2LB ball pene hammer and a heavy drift is usually enough, IME. Wedges (screwdrivers) on the gasket face are not recommended.

It definately did not want to come off. It needed some persuading with a can of PB Blaster and a 3-pound hammer. After beating on it from side-to-side for about 20 minutes it finally came off.
