Hopefully your friend did not miss the water pump's grommet with the water tube. If he did, the water tube has probably got shoved upwards due to hitting the water pump elsewhere... and if so (instead of impeller pieces in the tube), it will be necessary to pull the tube downwards while straightening it out with portions of 1x2" pieces of wood... various lengths.
If however the tube is not bent and indeed the problem is pieces of impeller in the tube, try lengths of piano wire with a slight hook or "L" shape on the end to yank that stuff out (works for me). Keep us updated.

The pieces that were still in the water pump housing melted so bad they and fastened to the pump housing hard as a rock and could not be removed ! I should mention that my friend is having trouble with his memory and I believe he run it for quiet some time without the water on and he told me he revved it up to high rpms several times ! I put a new water pump impeller in it for him last fall ! My wife is very sick and I can not get down there to help him much anymore ! I talked to him last night and he is taking it to mechanic tomorrow !
