Anyway incase anyone searches for this the answer "No the center bolt does not come off". Also a side note remove the T-stat before trying to remove the pump. It won't sneek out with it still attached. Ok, Now it's time to put it back together, Yeah!!!

This is of tremendous help as I am about to change my water pump and other items - valley pan gasket, spark plugs.....wish me luck!

THANKS!
