you may have to raise the engine slightly on the drivers side to get a clear shot at the bolt.


I'm not too sure on the best way to go about doing that.

There's not too much room there I know, but maybe file/grind a new 'flat' or 2 on the head? Spray penatrating fluid, should be doing that freqently. Maybe then you can get a grip on it with vice grips. Or saw/grind the head off, don't have to worry about the old pump, heh, then you'll have to get the cut bolt out. I dunno, just wanted to suggest the new flat thing.
