I just installed a new alternator but I didnt notice that the mounting bracket that holds the bottom bolt on the alternator has loosened up----it looks loke a 13MM---Thing is that cant fit a straight wrench or socket in there without major dismantlement of surrounding "stuff"---anyone have experience here? Will a curved wrench or a knuckle-jointed swivel socket extension help? I cant afford alot of $$$ this week to experiment on new tools and I sure do not want to dissasemble all this out in the rain.----PS..hope it holds together untill I drop the wife off.... Thanks----G.
