IIRC, a swivel socket is helpful.  Or, perhaps, I used a 1/4" drive.  I
remember that one of them was real tight to get to, but it came off with
normal tools.

The water pump is not an easy job, but you do not have to touch the main
pulley.  Have him unbolt the flange for the tube that runs behind the
pulley on the other side of the engine.  This gives just enough room,
to get the pump out and back in.
