Default help with changing alternator.. cant get it out

So I put the car in service position and got the long bolt out but i can't for the life of me get nut on the other side of the long bolt out (2 in picture).. It is a round bolt with 2 flats in it.. My 19mm socket fits but I don't have room for the socket wrench. The 19mm box wrench seems to big for it.. I'm on day 2 and could use any help.. Thanks..

i don't believe you take off bolt 2, when i did it there was just one bolt on the front of the alternator you take off and the other is the tensioner.
