There are a ton of bolts holding it on. You need female torx sockets. Be very careful about the torque of each bolt. they can break easily and you are screwing them into aluminum.
I snapped a bolt on half, even with the torque wrench set properly. Having a shop remove the bolt from the engine block tomorrow, but after ordering all new water pump bolts from the dealership they all seem way too long.
Anyone know the exact sizes it takes?
