Thanks Dave Stevens!

I replaced the water pump a couple days ago and used the small screw driver method in the round hole on the close to bottom of the pump (rstarkie's post) to lift the pump and get the 3 screws very easily started. The pump was a Hepu.

Prepping, I ran a 6mm X 1.00 tap into the 3 holes and blew them out with compressed air. One of the holes on top was a bit hard to screw in a bolt before cleaning it out with the tap.

I used a very thin coating of gun grease on the gasket and "Permatex water pump and thermostat RTV #22071" on the top of the mushroom gasket. The RTV helped slide the mushroom gasket into place on the head with a little help from finger pushing.

No leaks!

I left the P.S. belt looser (more loose?) than I have in the past in hopes of the pump lasting a long time.
