Water Pump INSTALL HELP ASAP!!

In the process of installing a new water pump but ran into a big problem...

After installing the new oem gasket, and pump, then after I put the bolts back in, the PUMP WONT TURN! It wont even give at all...I even tried the old water pump and it does the same thing!

When I just held it in place and turned it, I could hear it scraping the inside. I thought, maybe I'll just put all the bolts and see what happens. Well I got them all in and it won't even turn and I didn't torque them down yet either, just tightened by hand with a socket.

Here's a video... http://youtube.com/watch?v=3hXNOGd6sJY

HELP!

Sounds like you have a bad water pump. Exchange it for a new one.

There are only 3 things that can cause this......

1.) Bad replacement part

2.) Wrong replacement part

3.) Has Not been put in correctly.
