i had the same problem when i came to take out the pump off my 1.6 8v last weekend.

Mine was Dried in though as it hadn't seen any water for a few months.
Took me about 30 mins bashing it (not too hard) with a hammer/chisel/wood etc. Finaly it budged a bit and then it came out.

Got a new one to go in, good job as there is a fair few chips of metal come away from it.

i split my water pump in two the other weekend hitting it with sledge hammer. it had melted to the block spent about 2 hours chisseling the remains of melted ally of the block
