The mounting bolts on the pump must be loosened as well as the ajustment bolt. Tighten the ajusting bolt back up first after tightening.

If the head of the bolt is sheered off, your that much further ahead. Remove other bolts, get the pump and the brackets out of the way. With the pressure off the bolt, it is now easy to remove. If flush with mounting surface, get a ease out and drill bit (comes as a kit) tell them what size bolt your dealing with. Drill a hole in the center of the bolt. Use a center punch first to "make an impression" in the center, so your drill bit doesnt drift off center. Also, first be sure bolt dosnt move when tapped in a counter clockwise direction. (Righty tighty...lefty loosey) It'll save you a lot of work.
A little common sense goes a long way!

I'm not so certain you need to take that pulley off to get the water pump off. All the bolts should be accessible. Aren't there holes in the pulley that line up with any hidden bolts in behind? GM is well known for doing that. Rotate the pulley until you can sneak a socket through the pulley hole and get onto the bolts you need. (Unless this is a different design).

there should be holes in power steering pump pulley that when positioned correctly the bole should go through one of those holes, if not then you have to remove the pump

Power Steering pump has three bolts- 2 behind the pulley
at 12 and 6 o'clock and one bolt on the back.
Once you get the power steering pump out of the way you can
remove the last bolt on the alternator
Ok...I did not remove
axle or disconnect hoses on power steering...I did unbolt power
steering pump and moved off to side.
after that I disconnected sensor on throttle
body and very carefully lifted alternator through the top where your air intake
assembly would have been at, right next to A.C. refrigerant lines.It
takes a minute , you HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE SENSOR!!
However it is a lot faster that taking off drive shaft and
exhaust pipe!
If you go to AutoZone .com they
have exploded diagrams of the parts you have to take off and they will show you
bolt locations, the power steering pump bolt at 6 o'clock drove me crazy.
P.S. Get a ratcheting 12 mil wrench, it's a life and knuckle saver!!
