I was trying to change out my waterpump and I ran into some bolts that are stuck, I put a good amount of pressure on them and they did not budge. I dont want to break them off into the block, what should I do?
Frozen waterpump bolts !

You can try to *lightly* hammer the fasteners longitudinally (toward the motor, as if the heads were nail heads). The shocking might help break the threads free.
Otherwise, PB never hurts.
Good luck.

yeah, try pb blaster. The water pump bolts are weak so I wouldn't be too suprised it they do end up breaking.
Damn.......... I really dont want to break them off ! I remember a stang I worked on broke a waterpump bolt and we had to drill it out and tap it with this special long tap. I guess i will just leave it alone for now.
