Electrical problem
2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

ok so i'm usually pretty smart when it comes to fixing my cars but now I feel stupid asking this!
but.
my cars battery was just replaced and is dead "charged it" and when I drive the lights dim so I know it has to be my altinator.
i have 3 bolts to my vehicle and have the tops 2 out I tried taking out the bottom bolt but come to find out it wasent what I was expecting! It was a nut!
so my question is this now I have everything lose but I do not know how the heck I ge it out everythings out of the way but I cannot figure out how to remove it from this square bolt on passenger side and then theres threads from the nut on drivers side? Is this on big bolt or something different?

Ok sorry for posting!
I figured it out it is indeed one whole square bolt
the previous owner must have replaced it once befor and dfailed to put anti-siez on the bolt so it siezed the entire fixture!
