I guess I'll have to take it off and replace it with a water pump that I know the history of. Ironically this car came with a small stash of parts which included another old water pump.

Got it off and the collar will NOT come off! I am using a vise, chisel and hammer and while it is coming off slowly I am cutting the teeth off the collar. I do believe this pump is shot!

In retrospect I do not think I tightened the collar at all when I attempted to do so as there is no way I could have gotten the collar this tight by hand.

Got a pump on order.
