Hi once you have all the bolts off for the mount raise the front of the motor up till you can remove the center part of the mount
I use a floor jack and a 2x4 across the oil pan then remove the studs for the motor mount bracket now remove the bracket and now you can get the water pump out
hope this helps

You must loosen the motor mounts on the body of the car. I did not disconnect the motor mounts completely to get at the water pump bolts. One ALL motor mount bolts are removed I jack up the motor with a floor jack.

if thats got the 3800 or 3100 in it your taking out the wrong bolts!!!!!!!
your trying too remove the whole housing
you dont need too do that !!!
take off the 4- 10 mm bolts on the waterpump pully,then remove the bolts behind it i belive that there are 8 of them that takes the pump from the housing!!
