Yeah, the water pump is the thin part on the front. It's just a hunk of iron with an impeller. You're taking off the whole timing cover. It sounds like you already broke open the gaskets on the timing cover so at this point you have to go all the way. You need to take off the balancer to get the cover off. The bolt that holds it on gets torqued to 160 ft-lbs so it's a biach to get loose.
