Default RE: water pump

you could try heating lightly but not to much because those covers are cast aluminum. otherwise put a bigger bar on them and flex like ARNOLD would and snap'em off!! then drill and helicoil new holes. if your good at it and pick the right size drill bit after they break all you'll need is a tap to rethread the hole.
