What tools do I need for Water Pump removal on a 1979 Camero. I noticed when you get to the step of loosening the power steering pump, the bottom bracket nut has an different shape to it...seemingly a shape that would require a crecsent wrench. However the area is very tight fitting and does not appear to leave any room for any good torque in order to loosen it. Would I need a special wrench for this process?

Thanks.

I have owned and worked on a lot of Camaros and ive never seen that, its probably modified or damaged. If you try fitting a socket on it im sure you will find one to fit. When you get it out inspect the bolt for damage and replace it if it doesnt look original.
