ALL YOU NEED IS A HAMMER AND PRY BAR :O

In my 318 m40 engine i also ended up snapping away the to pieces of flange when attempting the screw method. Tried hitting it with a rubber mallet with no luck. Eventually I pulled out the hard hammer and started hitting the **** out of it. -lucky I had the cast iron block.
Then realized if I hit the structural fins of the water pump I could spin it out. Then waala. The cnt popped out with then help of a pry bar and the hammer.
