It does not show the issue with removing the water pump retaining bolt that sits directly behind the main pulley at around 1 o'clock position. I want to know how to get a socket on this bolt to remove it.

It does not say but if the part is in the way you will need to remove it if you can't get a wrench or socket on the bolt head.
