Nope.  Even if I take off the water pipe that runs in fron of it, I wouldn't
have enough space to work.  Tried the WD40 and dental tool trick, no luck.
I have thought about custom-building an additional bracket.  I'll see how
solid if feels with the single bolt at the bottom before I take any further
steps.
