Middle of doing belts.... Need Help

So I finally got down to doing the belts this morning.

Thankfully all 3 bolts on the PS pump are now loose.

However, I cant get the belt off the P/S pump.

What am I doing wrong??

The back bolt is loose and I can move it with hand.

The long tensioner adjustment bolt is super loose so is the lock nut.

Any pointers?

Don't you have to pull the A/C belt off 1st?

AC belt is already off.

Infact in the last few minutes I loosened the tensioner adjuster bolt so much that that the bolt and the long bolt are now off the car!

I hv no clue what is going on.

Even with the tensioner bolt off the car the ps belt wont come off... its more loose than it was when i started, but not enough to get it off.

I guess i can do that...

I was reading on releasing the long bolt the ps pump should lower or something like that.

I already have the back bolt loose and now the assembly that locks the long bolt is off.

Even with that the belt cant be taken off.

I need to atleast get the long bolt back on the car...

What am i doing wrong here
