Anyone else installing water pump for the first time should watch youtube video by Ben Burner for his "FRANKENWRENCH" works great for that one bolt you cant reach!!

Which bolts did you have trouble with? None of the bolts in question should have that much torque on them. The actual bolts through the rubber portion of the mount have a good amount of torque, but the mounts on the chassis, and on the motor shouldn't be too bad at all. The WP should be very easy overall, those bolts are just a few NM's.
