Don't forget the bolt hidden in the water outlet.

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
I thought I found them all but took your advice and did a double check and found the hidden bolt and got it off! Thanks so much!

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
You do need to support the engine as the water pumps are the engine mounts.

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
I wonder how many pumps were chiseled off and damaged because of that hidden bolt.

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
I tried to remove mine without knowing about the hidden bolt, I stopped myself just short of prying it and waited till I pulled the engine, then spotted it....

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
Anti seize and a stainless bolt for the bolt inside the housing. Some will say no to the stainless bolt but I was taught by one of the best IMO so stainless it is.

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
Anti-seize is the key for any stainless hardware. Stainless likes to gall when coming apart so the anti-seize is a must. It's even worse with dissimilar metals than it is for stainless on stainless fastener joints.

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
I have found just the opposite. The only case I had with galling was when I used a stainless bolt and stainless nut. Used quite a few stainless bolts in dissimilar metals and never had a problem - including using stainless bolts on exhaust headers or manifolds. No anti-seize

Re: 39 ford waterpumps
Dissimilar metal corrosion is a real thing and should not be discounted and especially where moisture is in the mix. After 40-years in the aviation industry, my experience has been different.
