1990 325ic. What is the best way to get at the pivot bolt on the alternator (the one above the PS Pump). Should I remove the air box and plenum and go in over the top with a ratchet, short extension, and socket. Or, should I go in from beneath by unbolting the PS pump and setting it out of the way?

All suggestions greatfully accepted.

I should also say that when I replaced my timing belt I had to go at it from underneith (spell check) and it was a much bigger pain to take off those plastic undercarrage/wheel well covers then it is to take out the air box. and if you don't have lift then I would FOR SURE go in from the top.
