You sure it's the water pump and not the pulley?

Have you heard of the penny trick?

When I first tried the penny trick it still squeaked so I tried again but only putting the penny in a tiny amount not as far as in the pictures and it worked a treat.

You may have pushed your pulley out of line further with 2 pennies in there.
