I can't remove my water pump

I'm stuck. I tried to remove my water pump but I'm having a problem, there is 4 bolts holding down the water pump, I took 3 of 'em off except one bolt which is on the driver side toward the bottom, this bolt has hard access to it, it is behind power steering bracket. I tried to loose the belt on power steering but no luck.
any suggestions?????

Use a short thinwalled socket. I first tried a deep well socket but, it wouldn't fit then I switched to a short craftsman socket and it barely fit. You don't have to loosen the power steering pump and also, don't forget to use some waterpump sealer on that one bolt because it goes through the water jacket.

It's a tight fit, but you can get a socket in there.
