    I used a slide- hammer with a vise-grip attachment and clamped above where the water pump housing would be. Used a straight-edge to lay across the housing and marked the driveshaft so I could tell if it was moving. Of course a lot of Kroil helped.

    This method is worth a try also.  Again, be careful not to clamp the driveshaft in an area where a seal or bearing rides.
