Default Water pump problems!!!

I'm changing the opti on my 95 and i took the crank pulley off and began to take the water pump off. I drained all the coolant and took the hoses off and then began to take the bolts off. I managed to find 5 and the pump will not budge. i know that they are siliconed on there so i tried prying it and hitting it with a ruber tip hammer and the thing just wont bidge. i also moved the AIR pump and bracket out the way! Any help plz! Thanks matt

There are 6 bolts holding it on. This is the pic of the LS1 water pump but they are pretty close. Hope this helps.

Yea I got three off from the PS and i only found two on the DS so tom. when i get home i'm going to have to go at it to find that other bolt. i thought it might have been behind the AIR pump being that it buts up against the water pump but nothing to be found!
