waterpump/pas pump removal

i am in the process of replacing my waterpump and and am stuck on the last bolt behind the p a s pulley. unfortunately the three bolts on the p a s pulley are rounded off so i can not remove it to get to the last bolt. can you get the pump off without removing the pulley

i teke it the powersteering pump is held on by the bolts behind the pulley. will try single hex today. any other way around it? pulley bolts well seized. looks like someone had same problem before me

I think to remember there are 6 bolts, 3 holding the pump on a flat metal bracket and 3 holding in turn the bracket to the engine, so you need to take every other bolt

probably better working from underneath and you might need thin spanners as they sometimes use for bicycle repairs

if not already done you should also remove the radiator to get better access
