Urgent: PS pump adjustment

Rather odd thing to have "urgent", I know. :)
I was in the process of replacing my alternator on my '88 16v over the
weekend and noticed that the middle v-belt (water pump and AC) was in dire
need of replacement. I have to take off the power steering/water pump belt
to get to it, but the power steering pump will NOT move. I've pried,
jacked, and pounded that sucker to no avail -- all pivot points are quite
loose (in fact, the only remaining point I can see it connected to the car
is the bracket on the passenger side) and I've PB'ed everything that looked
like it *could* move.
Any ideas? What am I missing? I thought one just had to loosen the
adjusting bolt, but even with it out I'm out of luck.
This is rather important, as I've missed half a day of work already..
Thanks in advance!
