I am in the process of changing the water pump on the 190E 4 cylinder and I am having a problem with the generator bracket that shares 3 bolt holes with
the water pump.

Should that bracket be removed? There is one bottom bolt that connects the bracket to the alternator and it cannot be accessed from the front. I can access it from the rear of the generator but it is very tight. I assume it must be loosened or removed so that the new water pump and gasket can get behind the bracket.

Can anyone tell me what should be done to get the bracket out of the way? Should I put a breaker bar on the generator nut and remove the generator and bracket?
