Default Water pump replacement

I'm finally getting around to replace the water pump on my 84 C4. (I'm recovering from back surgery)

I got the compressor loose, but not out, and some of the other stuff loose, but not off.

The parts store doesn't have a book on the car - big surprise. Would someone be so kind as to post/send a step by step or send a PDF of the instructions in the book. I must be missing something really easy and I know I'll feel totally stupid when I see my problem.

Thanks,

Greg

Read this entire post and I think you will better understand what you need to do with the flattened Torx bolt:
