Subject:Water pump replacement (1.9l)

Hi,

I decided that it is high time to consider myself capable of replacing my
own water pump.  I have always considered it a nasty  job which I would
rather leave for my mechanic, but I am now in the thick of the chase.

Problem - I can't seem to get a socket on the lowest of the three nuts
holding the pump to the block.  Do I need to remove the pulleys form the
crankshaft to reach it?

Thanks,

Karl Wolz
