My pump broke exactly like yours and it was siezed in the block. I used a pair of channel lock pliers to rip it out. Took about 30 seconds. I wouldn't advise threading anything into or prying against your block. It can crack just as easily as your water pump did.

I wouldn't hammer on it either, it's designed to slide straight in and out. If you knock it crooked, you're putting a lot of stress on the block.
