Not that you want to hear this....but it is very easy with the drivers side exhaust manifold removed. I was doing my cam/header install and noticed mine had a bad bearing. Thats the best time to catch it.

An easier way would be to pull the plastic cover off the kmember, squeeze your hand up behind it, use a 1/4 wratchet, and a short whatever size socket. Dont forget to pull the plug out of the top of it or you will rip the tiny red wire out of it.

i believe the rear bolt you are talking about kalel is the output wire from the alternator, leave that one alone untill you get all the mounting bolts out. there is ANOTHER MOUNTING BOLT that goes in from the BACK. you MUST remove it to remove the alternator.

I hope you know how to solder. I had to take the connector apart and solder in about 4" of wire to fix it.
