Default PS pump bolt issue

5th gen

I am having an issue with the PS pump lower mounting bolt. I have the pointless AEM pullies on my car which is slightly bigger than stock which is causing a problem with the lower mounting bolt, that is right in front of the pulley obstructing my way of getting a tool in there to properly tighten that bolt.

Anyone have any ideas?

I would say try your luck with a swivel but i'm not sure how much space you have. There might be barely enough space to fit a socket in there. The only other option i can think of is maybe a wrench, probably open ended judging from your troubles.

Either that or try to get that pulley out of the way. Maybe someone else has an idea. If you could post some pics that would probably help too.

I actually had to use an open ended bike wrench to hold the nut down on the other end. The wrench I used was super thin which fit perfectly. I was so happy when it worked.
