Caterpillar Ten

Trying to remove the water pump on a Ten. Removed the three bolts connecting the water pump to the engine block. Removed the bottom water tube. The water pump seems to be really stuck. Am I missing anything? Any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to break anything.

Just got to give it a little tap with a chisel side to side. Be careful not to crack it . it should come off or does the impeller turn freely with the fan.

Morning, tried a chisel, but it’s not budging. Seems really stuck. It only has three bolts?

Work all the way around with a thin chisel. They can be buggers! Be careful not to brake the bolt ears. Only 3bolts.

Thanks for the help! Got it removed without breaking it.

Good news! -- cts

I pulled a ten pump off yesterday. I used a putty knife and a hammer to basically cut the gasket. Slipped another knife behind the first one to spread the gap. It came off fairly easy as both sides of the gasket were glued down. I left no marks on the pump but did file off all of the marks left by hammer jockeys in the past. Frankly it took longer to file the packing nut back to shape so a one inch wrench fits properly. No idea what it was before said hammer jockey took channel lock plies to it. On top of all of that, teflon tape is not a proper packing material. Took a bit to dig all of that out. All good now, hopes yours goes back together well.
