Water Inlet Not Coming Out

[norm1949j]

I have 1995 SC400 and have a bad water pump. I removed the hoses and released the rt side coil and removed the 2 bolts on the water inlet housing. BUt I am not able tp pull the water inlet housing out of engine.

Any ideas on how to remove the water inlet housing?

Use a rubber mallet and tap it.

I had done that last night but I tried again today and the key is do auto work in the light. I had been striking the inlet housing tring to drive it out at an angle.

THanks alot .. it is out now pretty easily.
