special tool for removal waterpump?

[lyle_H]

my mech says he doesn't have the tool needed to remove the water pump on 1987 420sel

can anyone tell me the tool that is needed and how to get it?

no offense, but, i think you need a new mechanic. i am 1 and have done a few water pumps on v8s. unless it's the 6mm allen needed for the crank pulley, i can't imagine any special tool needed. the 6mm allen isn't THAT special, either. good luck, chuck.
