I need help with changing water pump on 89 ford bronco?

ok, heres the deal. i have a 89 ford bronco 5.0 302. ive started to change the water pump. i removed the fan shroud, the fan, the belt, i removed all the bolts attached to the pump.. but ive hit a snag. the far right bolt that went on the pump is also attached to some seel piece thats also holding up the alternator.. doesnt look like a bracket because its really think. my question is do i remove this? because 2 of the wheels are also attached to this. (by wheels i dont mean tires lol) its wheels that the belt went around.|||yes make sure you rember what bolts go in what hole some are longer then other but yes it all has to come off to get the water pump out|||Future reference pick up a repair manual for your truck, it will assist you in other jobs you may tackle and have a step by step help.
