Re:81 Spider Water pump removal

[Newigi@domain.elided]

It started with the replacement of the fan and while I had the radiator out I 
decided to have it reworked and buy a new fan shroud. An electric fan would 
have been optimal but it wouldn't fit because of the dealer installed 
air-conditioning. So while I had all of that out I figured I might as well go 
ahead and replace the water pump. Now I have the nine nuts off of the water 
pump and I have broken the pump loose but it seems to be hitting on the crank 
pulley at the bottom of the pump. Am I missing something? Will I have to take 
the crank pulley off to remove the water pump and if so what size is the nut 
holding it on? What kind of hassle is involved with the removal of the crank 
pulley. I am missing some great days of driving because of this so any help 
will be appreciated. Thanks Norm.
