Removing Water Pump

[John Gottstein <gottstein@erols.com>]

Hi,
  Well I've got the radiator out, and I'm tyring to remove my water pump
to replace it, but it won't come off.

Does anyone have an idea how to separate it?  It has the black silicone
gasket goo all around it, too.

Also, do I need a puller to remove the fan clutch from the pulley?

Last, would it be a bad idea to run the engine for a few seconds  with
the radiator off?  Yes, I'm clueless.

Thanks very much,
     John
