my '95 Chevy Astro van! Discovered later that it required removing the engine dip-stick to access a 10mm bolt on the back side of the alternator which wasn't even visible! Other method requires ~6 feet of socket extensions and a flexible 10mm socket while working from underneath with the van on a hoist.
Someone at the Dealer told me that "shady" shops will fail to reinstall this bolt because it is so tough to access. Guaranteeing the customer will be back with a broken accessory mounting bracket in a few weeks time. Needless to say, I checked my new alternator when I picked up my van to make sure the bolt was there. You can't see it, but if you know where it is you can feel it easy enough.
