The bolt wouldn't come off. I only tried so hard for fear of hurting something since I only have handtools. Ended up going to the dealer and paid $580 to have them change the waterpump and put in the new Timing belt. Spent all day at the dealer, left it unfinished because the waterpump was leaking and they couldn't do anything about it then. I leave for the desert and by the time I got here they figured out it was the waterpump gasket was broken(they had to have done that because it wasn't when I brought it to them. They paid anyway)and of course by then, my neighborette was already at the airport going home. What a pain it all turned out to be. I think the total sum for oil change, plug, plug wires, air filter, Gates timing belt kit, waterpump, Dayco serpentine belt antifreeze, cam and crank seals and dealer labor came out to about ~$1,000. Not too bad in retrospect.
