stuck on water pump removal 2000 1.6l
 

In the middle of a timing belt water pump job and stuck on getting the old water pump off. Got all the bolts out and radiator hose off and still can't remove the pump. Have not removed the gooseneck off the pump, but I can feel something still attached going to the exhaust manifold but can't see it. :( Also got interference with the dipstick tube, which I can't budge. Should it pull out? Thanks for any advice. -Luther
