Technical removing alternator mk2b sport

[texx]

Hi Trying to remove alternator on my 2004 sport with aircon Could someone tell me where the upper bolt is located to remove alternator,do you have to remove aircon to get at it?
Cheers

there is no need to remove air con compressor, its just more tricky to remove alternator that way, one bolt is easier to reach from underneath, rather than from top

Thanks for reply,i have now found the bolt! but how on earth do you get a socket onto it do you have to tilt the engine forward to get at it?
