I have a 2002 grand prix GT. I am trying to change the water pump but I cannot get the bolt out behind the power steering pump. Please let me know how to do this.

Found this in an earlier search:

"WP replacement mini-writeup"

1. Empty Coolant from Radiator drain
2. Remove drive belt(s)
3. Remove the coolant resevoir tank
3. Remove the Idler pulley with a 15mm
4. Remove the 4 WP pulley bolts with a 8mm
5. Remove the 2 Power Steering Pump bolts with a 13mm(bolts are at 12:00 and 6:00 accessable through the PS pulley holes)
6. Push PS pump 1 inch to the side
7. Remove all 8 WP bolts with a 13mm and a 10mm(3 are 13mm/5 are 10mm)
8. Collect extra coolant until flow stops(a few cups)
9. Apply RTV to both sides of the gasket and WP bolts
10. WP bolts should be torqued to 11lbs+80*/Idler pulley bolt at 36lbs/WP pulley bolts at ~9lbs
11. Reinstall everything and fill the coolant back up
12. Run for a few minutes, check for leaks, and bleed the system

Hope this helps.
