1990 Vanagon Campmobile 2.1 Water Pump Help

This water pump has been killing me!

I’ve been dealing with a lot of back and neck pain, so I can only work on this BS for about 15 minutes at a time.

As you can see from the picture, I’m very close to getting the water pump off.

  • I have one bolt left on the water pump, but there doesn’t seem to be enough room to get a tool onto it.
  • Then there’s the bolt on the side pipe. It’s very close to the main pulley and can only be accessed with an Allen wrench. Unfortunately, I stripped it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this bolt out without damaging the pulley or anything else around it?
