I studied the FAQs here and the write-ups on water pump replacement, but in trying to work the aftermarket water pump I ordered from FCP Euro onto the block, I ended up shearing the bottom bolt. I am sure it is entirely my fault (it's my first water pump replacement).

What's the recommended fix here? I am currently thinking about trying one of those E-Z out bolt/stud extractors, but I may have to remove the rad to get enough room to use it properly.

Any other methods I should think about instead?

And since I am an optimistic guy, once I do remove the bolt, any tips on getting the pump to fit properly? I was trying to install the pump using the bottom bolts first, but with all of the wiggling and rocking of the pump, I must have done something to cause the bolt to shear.

Also, any problem with reusing the old bolt, since I am now short one new bolt. Or should I just get some better bolts separately, since maybe these aftermarket bolts that came with the kit are subpar?

Thanks in advance,
