Water pump removal question...
1995 LT1: My water pump is leaking and needs to be replaced. When I tried to remove it all of the bolts came out ok and it separated from the engine but it will not come all the way off. It seems to be stuck to the water pump drive shaft. Any thoughts on why it is stuck or what my next course of action should be will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

At this point it should just come out. It sounds like your water pump drive shaft coupler is frozen. Try spraying some WD-40 and letting it sit overnight. The coupler just slips over the splines on either end from what I remember.
