A/C power steering bracket wont come off.

I am replacing my water pump but i gotta move the ac/power steering bracket out of the way to do so. Removed all bolts except for under the idler pulley that


bolt is way to long and I cant move the bracket out of the way. Anyone else struggle with this? Any help is appreciated.

It looks like somebody was in there before and either broke the bolt, or for some reason there's a stud in there. I didn't have this issue on my truck, and don't remember any studs in that spot.
