How do you get the water pump bolts out of a thunderbird?

To remove the water pump bolts from a Thunderbird, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Then, drain the coolant and remove any components obstructing access to the water pump, such as the serpentine belt and hoses. Use a socket wrench to carefully unscrew the bolts, applying penetrating oil if they are stuck. Be sure to keep track of the bolt sizes and positions for reassembly.
