Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is the belt adjuster bracket is directly over the last bolt preventing removal of the last bolt. Even after you swing the adjuster out the way, you've got the bracket to contend with. The cooling fan bolted to back of the fan clutch, unbolting it before you remove fan clutch make the fan a pain to contend with. It appears that the secret is to remove the backet holding the power steeriing pump and AC compressor to gain access to the bolt.
