I AM REPLACING THE WATER PUMP ON MY 81 380SL AND HAVE HIT TWO ROAD BLOCKS.

1. THE BOTTOM BOLT DOES NOT SEEM TO LINEUP WITH THE NOTCHES IN THE HARMONIC TIMING PLATE. IS THERE A TRICK TO GETTING THE BOLT THROUGH THE NOTCH TO REMOVE IT?

2. THE FAR RIGHT BOLT IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE POST THAT BOLTS DOWN THE DISTRIBUTOR AND SEEMINGLY CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT REMOVING THIS POST. IS THERE A TRICK HERE ALSO?
