Can't remove pump assembly from SPX, help?

[Thetolleyman]

I picked up a 94 SPX that I might restore, but I can't seem to remove the pump from the hull. I've removed several of this older style pump without any problems before. Any tricks or tips. I think salt has corroded the bolt shafts to the pump mounting holes. I even tried hooking the pump to a tree with a rope and pulling the ski on a trailer away with the truck. I didn't want to give it too much but it still didn't work.

Some idiot may have used two part resin instead of "black stuff" to seal around
the three pump nipples. Try a crowbar against venturi, a 2 x 4 against the fiberglass
(to distribute) and pry sideways to break it free. Might need to IMPACT
TOOL the pump bolt thread/heads.

Remove the small pto clamp, the drive O-ring on Carbone ring. Then the drive shaft will probly come easily out with the pump.
