​​​​​​I've tried PB blaster but the space is to small to swing an BFH.

I've tried and no, the bolt does not move. It's stuck in place.

That doesn't make sense.
If the nut is loose or off there should be nothing holding the bolt.
Have you tried to take the nut off and remove the pulley?

Don’t you have to loosen #81085 as well to pivot the bracket and free the pulley?

Not that I know of. I took that out when I had to remove the ad bracket.
