ever changed the water pump on a 86 LG4?

I got everything off but I cant get the power steering pump bracket loose to swing it out of the way.Which one of the 500 million bolts do I have to loosen.I took out the 3 I see holding it but it wont move.Do I have to take the air cond.brackets off?thanks

There's 4 bolts: 2 on the back, the one that goes into the pump, and the nut on the top. The lower one on the back is the one you haven't found yet. It's a 9/16" like the one you did find.

You don't have to take the A/C brackets off.

While playing with my timing chain, I left the power steering alone, just pulled the pump right out at an angle, and installed the same way.
