Changing water pump on 87 Honda Accord?

I was trying to change the water pump on a 87 honda accord and I am having trouble getting that bottom bolt off, its under the timing belt lower cover and that seems to be held in place by the pulley. Is there an easy way to get the water pump off?|||you need to remove the timing covers, and you may as well replace the timing belt at the same time. you will pull the rest of your hair out trying to do it any other way. it is easiest to break the three pulley bolts loose before loostening the belt.|||i own a shop,and on those i always remove the pulley and stuff it saves a lot of time by doing this,and its a lot easier to do this way,but if i was you id just take it off and get it out of my way good luck i hope this helps.|||Yep Dodge Man is correct. That bolt is tight too. I usually use an Impact Gun to remove it. There is also a tool available to hold the pulley while you loosen the bolt. I have that tool too :) Working as a technician you acquire lots of special tools.
