getting raw water pump off the engine

[knuthein]

we have to replace our raw water pump. We unscrewed all 3 bolts on the back plate of the pump and removed the hoses and the holding bracket.

The boat is a 06 vlx with hh. Looking at the new pump everything must be loose now but the pump or its base plate is not moving a mm off the engine. I tried WD40 but nothing happens.

Somebody any idea

Thanks
