Trying to replace the alternator. I have everything disconnected and ready to pull the old unit out except for the two bottom bolts. How do I get to these bolts? There seems like there is no room to get a ratchet there especially with all the ac hoses and radiator fan in the way. I have attached a pic to show you which two bolts I'm talking about. They are the bottom 2 of the 3 pointed at.

Remove the fan directly in front of it! Then remove the 2 bolts and slide it out carefully.

I used a long box wrench I believe it was a 13or 14mm but the wrench was 8-12 inches long it was helpful to get the longer one or use a regular sized one and maybe some sort of cheater bar to help get the pry you need to loosen the bolts....

take the fan out. its 2 10mm bolts at the top and unbolt the coolant resevoir. disconnect connectors and pull out, not hard at all
