686 water pump help

will_kc · Jun 27, 2017

I have all but one bolt out to get the pump off. The last bolt has me stumped. There is not enough head showing on the bolt to get any kind of wrench or socket on it. the bolt is on the left side closest to the alternator. It is not stripped. The thing is wrapped on two sides with a cast shoulder.

Had anyone run into this problem? Got a good solution for getting the bolt out? The pump looks original.

Thanks,
Will

Hi, I assume it is a German D-310 engine. My brother had same problem on German D-206 and he had to grind the outside of a socket
to make it fit. The replacement water pump was machined properly. Don't lose the copper washers.
