Removal of 92 continental water pump

[CUWhenUGetThere]

I have a huge problem with removing the water pump of my 92 continental.
The pump's gone bad (water dripping out from underneath) and i bought a new one from advance auto parts.

But i can't get the old pump out.

I have a copy of the Ford customer service workshop Manual and all it sais is:

1. Drain engine coolant as outlined.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Loosen and remove accessory drive belt.
4. Disconnect heater hose, bypass hose and radiator hose at water pump.
5. Remove four pulley-to-pulley hub bolts, and lift pulley out of vehicle.
6. Remove three bolts and one stud nut from A/C mounting brace, and remove brace.
7. Remove alternator mounting brace and alternator.
8. Remove five water pump-to-engine retaining bolts and four studs.
9. Lift water pump out of vehicle

So basicly i took all the hoses off, unscrewed pretty much all screws and anything connected to the water pump.
This is what it looks like:


now i have a problem with these bolts:



they need to move another inch or two before i can pull them out, but they are allready hitting the sides.

Is there any way to get the water pump out without lifting the whole engine out?

Thanks

Alex

Since your question was asked in May I suppose you probably have this pump licked by now! If not you'll notice the "bolts" are realy long studs. If you can get the nuts off them just thread them back into the block, and remove the water pump.Its a tight squease but raiseing the engine with a jack under the pan (be sure to use a block of wood on the jack and loosen the motor mnts!) helps by raiseing the pump's bulk above the unibody!
