Lol its good man I know what you mean.

 

ok, I took the cover off, I'm gonna attempt to dremel a small slit into and then back it out with a flat head, otherwise, I'll try the ez-out thing

here's a pic with the cover off:

 

oh wow, i thought it would have a paper gasket. that is pretty cool and saves you 10 bucks or so and the time to get one in.
looks like you may could stick a flat head right in there and turn it, maybe liquid wrench or seafoam deep creep if it's resisting.
maybe even some j/b weld or something since its so exposed, im sure you have it out by now.

 

Ok so after 2 hours of trying, I couldnt get the bolt out so I'm going to just replace the whole water pump. Oh well, chaulk it up to a learning experience. Will post pics later, thanks for all the help guys.

 

ummm... an impact screwdriver or something? so you hit it with a hammer it turns to the left?
you tried drilling the bolt out too?? you are talking $126.98

 

[EDIT]: nevermind, the pump needs that bolt to seal the o-ring. i'd try an ez-out.

 

Yeah you can get it out. Just be patient with it and use an easy-out as mentioned. I have done stuff like this hundreds of times.

 

Even if you don't want to drill it out etc, then a shop will do it for a reasonable price, should be less than buying a new pump. It doesn't look too bad ask a friend or someone who has used ez outs or delt with broken bolts, I would help ya for free, being the bolt is right there easy access.

 

Dude, I know you're pist cuz you f'ed up but its an easy fix with an easy out or grab-it. We have all dont this crap and trust me the solution is not really that hard

 

thanks for all the encouragement guys but I'm going to just get the new pump, I tried dremel-ing a slot into the bolt and in the process scored a bit of the water pump so that's pretty much ruined now too. I spent over $80 on the dremel and ez-out bits (they aren't cheap) so after returning those I'm ready to just install a new pump.

speaking of the new pump, has anyone installed one? it says in the service manual to squirt some molybdenum oil into the water pump hole... what is molybdenum oil?? where can I get it?
