      Good thought on the coolant system, guys, but that didn't work. This thing still won't budge. Everyone I've talked to, whether it's on here or mechanic relatives or the guy up the road, asks about missing a bolt. I've got all three 5mm hex bolts sitting right here with me. Guess I will try to pry it off now.
      Try twisting, you might break something by prying.....

      Twist it with the wrench tool? I've been doing that to no avail...

      Since the pump was being replaced, I used a large pair of vice grips that gave me enough leverage...

      This is what we are looking at here. You can see the corrosion down at the bottom.

      Yep, Mine was just as bad.....
      Had to work it for about an hour to get it to break free.
      You can pry if you want, but I do not like the idea myself.

      I would also not pry it - the last thing you would want at this point is a nick or gouge in the block mating surface. Back-and-forth rotation using the tool should eventually bust up the crud. I'm trying to figure out how this could have happened. Perhaps a very slow ooze getting past the gasket? Not a big enough leak to be noticed, but enough to keep it damp, and build up a mass of rust and slag over time. In any case, you have the water pump from hell, and I hope this turns out ok for you.

      Also, you can also try good 'ol WD-40 (Thank you, Army Corp of Engineers)... If I remember, I used that to help penetrate the grud....

      For the automatic guys I found a little video that demonstrates the starter/breaker bar method.

      the aveo is a clockwise side mounted engine and this method worked fine for me. The coil pack has a 3 wire connector that connects on the underside. Removing that will disable the ignition.

      I wanted to thank all of those that had suggestions on how to get my water pump out. I simply ran out of time off to work on this, so unfortunately had to take it to a local shop to finish up the job. Here is a pic of the new vs. old, btw. Thats 133k miles on it.
