Thanks for the replies re: moving the crankshaft, done belt is off. I want to remove the camshaft sprocket, there is a bolt at the middle of it used to rotate the engine, if I turn this the who sprocket will move - so how do you take the camshaft sprocket out?
thanks in advance, sunny and warm where I am at least !

If you take the tappet cover off you will likely find there is a hex cast/forged on the camshaft to take a 22 or 24mm spanner. Thats how the lux is setup anyway.

Are you replacing the Seal? I ask because you do not need to remove that sprocket to replace the water pump.

Have to disagree with you there. You need to remove the cam sprocket, timing belt tensioner etc. to enable removeing the seal plate which partially covers the water pump. Maybe some engines are slightly different in various models but thats how it was on the one I did recently. Regards,Bob.
