Water pump replacement
Started on this project yesterday evening.
Have all but one bolt removed and transfered to new pump including pulling needing swap.

Last bolt is unable to be removed due to washer not getting past lip of pulley on far right edge of the water pump.

Am thinking the part is the ac compressor and am still researching. I can see two bolts on bottom and left side of it but would rather not mess with it if there is another way to get past and then replace with the new pump.
Do not want to damage either the pulley or the bolt/washer.
For those with experience doing this, what suggestions can you offer?

Hose is off....all bolts are out....thought the port (circled black metal) would have more give.....took fastening bolt off but it will not flex enough to allow the wp to come straight off or at an angle....this is damned nuts
