dam.... well are those 2 bolts really needed? im not sure of difference between the 1 piece brackets and 2piece brackets. ive never removed a 1piece bracket.
i think one is the bottom bracket bolt and the other is a extra bracket for the power steering pump. and ive seen plenty of trucks out in the junkyard that didnt have the extra power steering pump bracket bolted on them. but that bottom bolt im not sure about.
but before ya get to bent outta shape get some bolt extractors and try to get those broken bolts out! who knows they might come out without to much trouble... FINGERS CROSSED.
also side note IMO while the water pump is out just go ahead and get a brand new one and paint it. i never reuse water pumps! if they come off the motor THEY DONT GO BACK ON! its just cheap insurance and why not! brand new steel always looks better painted
and another.... i wouldnt hassle with the dampener. just clean and spray it black and while its in the open go ahead and paint the timing mark after you spray the black just so its either to check timing later on if ya got alittle yellow paint laying around or a chalk marker.
