I have a new water pump on order from HDL.  I got the bolts loose on the old one by using penetrating oil and tapping on them with a hammer with the engine warm but one of them (lower right) was really tough to break loose.

When installing the new pump should I use anti-sieze on the bolts?

You should also go to your local bolt house and get new bolts, as the ones you had a hard time removing have already been involved in a bi-metalic siezure.

I put anti-sieze on then to make them easier to remove next time.

I'm hoping the top bolts come with the new pump as they are inside the outline on the parts fiche for the assembly.  I'll see if I can source the lower bolts locally.

Most anytime you have two disimilar metals antiseize be a good thing to do. That way the next time hopefully not as big a hassle for disassembly. RIDE SAFE.
