So, for those that are interested in a conclusion, my leaking (gushing) water pump forced me to try it again. After another go at it with a torch and BIG extension on the breaker bar, I pulled with all I had and couldn't get it off. I put it back together and took it to a shop. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

They guy said he had to dissasemble the entire front end to fit a 3/4 inch snap on impact (1100ft/lbs) and hammer on the thing for a good bit to get it off. All I can say is wow. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
