Ok, I see what you were saying that the pulley could still come off of the water pump if the other two bolts were took off.
We accomplished that and thats when I realized why the bolts broke in the first place....I was turning the pulley bolts the wrong direction and tightening them so they snapped.
Got the water pump off and now we are two water pump pulley bolts short.
Cant find a similar bolt with the washer made into it anywhere and the one I did find at Ace hardware was to long.
Is this a bolt I will have to get from the dealer?
