Removing the water pump

I won't be using the mechanical water pump so I need to remove this.  I made sure most of the coolant had been removed before proceeding. Most of the pipes felt empty. 

The Haynes manual tells you mark up the hose, metal clips and pipework, I marked the pipework and clips. 

The pipes are a pain in the arse to get off, I ended up using a screw driver to prise them off, don't think I have damaged the pipes just couldn't get them off by pulling alone.

Remove the three fixing bolts and the pump should just pull right out. I was careful as the pump was still full of coolant.

Once the pump is removed it leaves a bit hole in the side of the engine. Next is to fit the water pump delete kit..
