You're right--the pivot bolt is easier to reach from underneath.
But my problem is that that lower pivot bolt appears to be missing,
although I am at a loss as to how the alternator would remain in place
or function with that bolt gone. I am now fearful that the bolt may be
broken off inside, although there is no evidence of that, other than
that alternator is still in place and functioning normally.
