is the bolt on the pulley itself? or on the pump housing?
been my experience that to get the bolt off the pulley, to keep one other bolt in the pulley and leverage it to be able to break loose the other one, as alot of times, you have to move the pulley out of the way before you can get the pump off.

I will try to look at a picture tomorrow or monday and see if I can see what you are seeing. But I am curious if you still have the pulley on or not, as it looks as if you haven't taken the pulley off, and just going straight to taking the whole thing off
