Removing water pump

["Davide Frada" <davidef@domain.elided>]

Hi,

Well, well... Having towed the berlina home, I got it started and running.
Recently, I found a second hand water pump so Saturday I tried to fit it. I
took everything off, but when it came time to pull it off, I noticed that
there was no way it would come off with the crank pulley in the way. After
ringing all around town for a 36mm socket, I tried to undo the nut. No
luck. I even chained the car to another car so it couldn't move back
further, but still the nut would not budge. Penetrating oil did not help.

Any suggestions?
