I need detail instructions on how to remove the alternator. I can't get the top bolt out of the bracket, the instructions I have don't show the top bracket bolt, where is it, and how do you get to it? Does the alternator come out of the wheel well thru the hole?

Are you having trouble accessing the bolt or isn't there enough clearance to remove it? As far as removal, take it through the wheel well.

accessing the bolt, where is it? Do you have to take the idler pulley off to access?
