Unbolted pulley and water pump but hits the frame rail. How do I get it out? Will I need to jack up motor?

Hello,

Did you take the pulley complete off of the pump?
After you unbolt the pulley you can turn it, and be able to slide it in the water pump shaft. This will give you more room to get the pump out. You should not have to jack up the motor.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
