Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Apparently some people are FAR more patient than I am! No way I would spend more than half a day taking an engine apart. It would come apart one way or the other in my hands!!

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Guys, it's an installed engine in his garage. He just wants to change his water pumps. Let's help him do that without the cost of to-and-from tow with machine shop in-between or even mobile welding service. Geeze!

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
None of this changes anything the pump must come off.
What is so hard about that? R |

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
I think he's on the right track with a rattle gun and tight socket. I'd use only an impact socket because of the added flyweight and grind the nose of the socket flat for max contact.

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Drill the head off , take the pump off and use a vice grip to remove the threaded portion of the bolt.

Crap! The semantics police have caught me. Let me start again.... Grind the terminal HEXAGON wall opening of the socket perpendicular to the HEXAGON internal sidewall to eliminate any radius or chamfer to ensure maximum sidewall contact with fastener (bolt). how'z that? Lonnie |

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Good call on the socket grinding, some of the el cheapos have a very pronounced chamfer.

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Sorry boys, been real busy with work. Sometimes being self employed has its drawbacks. Here's the update- pumps came off, but not without a fight. One came out on its own with heat and a hammer. The other broke off at the head of the bolt. Got the pump off and then went to work on what was left of the bolt. New ones from Speedway and the radiator was recored by a shop in San Carlos. NFI here, but Howard Radiator is the only shop on the Peninsula that works on them anymore. These guys are very familiar with the old Fords and other makes. Their parking lot looked like a fantasy used car lot to me. High quality workmanship , a bit pricey. "If your gonna play, your gonna pay". Money well spent, won't have to do it again. Trying to get new stats from All Ford in Campbell. Dropped by last week and ordered them. Should be in today or tomorrow. With luck, I should be driving the Ol' Blue truck by Saturday.
Thanks again to all that weighed in on this problem. Your patience with me is greatly appreciated. Its kind of hard to make headway on a project by grabbing an hour here and there. But you know that , I'm sure. Thnx, Q |

Re: Hidden water pump bolt/ 8BA
Yup, it came out much easier with the pump out of the way. Able to apply heat directly to the area. Cleaned up the threads and put the new ones in. Going to pick up the thermostats tomorrow and start putting back together.
