The angle of this wrench will allow you to get at the two upper bolts
holding the water pump housing to the engine case - even with the injection
pump still in. Small but steady turns to get it free.
If you go with option 2 (as I did when replacing my water pump), there is
still plenty of room to clean the block and hand turn the bolts.....just
can't get the angles with a normal wrench.
Hope this helps.
