I had the
EXACT same problem the OP and other guy had. I too went to the junkyard and grabbed another bracket and removed mine and did a swap.
There
IS a cutout and I had to rotate the engine and thats now i got the 5th bolt out.
I actually degreased and polished my bracket before installing it and it looks brand new.
