In my case the bottom bolt when fully released was up against the crank pulley. All I had to do was pry the water pump straight forward a bit, then tilt the top of the water pump forward so that the bottom would clear the pulley. Might be a bit of a challenge to install the new water pump in reverse, but I'll give it a try. I plan to tape the bottom bolt in place prior to positioning the pump.
