Water pump

I have a 1984 camaro Z28 with a 305 hp, auto trans, and 235000 miles. I started having a coolant leak and noticed my temp gauge rising and falling a lot. Replaced the thermostat but leak and gauge movement persisted. I determined the problem to be the water pump. I have removed the pump pully and all the bolts that I can see that go to the pump but it will not move. It's almost like some is still holding it on. There are a couple of brackets that bolts go through but I wouldn't think they have to be removed but I could be wrong. Could tell me what might be keeping it from coming off?

Thanks
Jason

I will tell you if you can't get the pump off, you ARE missing a bolt! You must dissconnect All mounts and remove all bolts from the pump! It is a simple 8 cyl, forward facing waterpump, if you nare sure you have ALKL thru bolts removed, pry it off!
