Default Lower Alternator bolt

Anyone have an idea of how to get this lower alternator bolt out with removing the power steering pump?

IIRC, you remove the rear PS mount bolt & that will let the PS pump pivot enough to reach the Alt. Bolt.

Jerry, I have always taken the PS pump loose, then removed the lower alternator belt.

Hi Keith,

I’m curious what “rear bolt” needs removed to allow the Pump to pivot enough for clearance?
Do you have a photo of this particular bolt, or precise location.

Always looking for a more efficient way to work on these old cars.

Thanks for the time!

Chris.
