on some my early '96 (not my later '96, didnt have any issues)
undo the 10mm bolt that holds the A/C lines to the Alt bracket
undo the 2 x 16mm bolts thru the top of the alt bracket
loosen alt, and wedge bracket back..I did not remove belt
wedge top rad hose out of way
you MAY need to loosen the clamp, or undo the water pump to heater hose
(I just loosened and rotated the clamp out of the way)
I eased the plug cap of with multigrips from the front
slip a slim (3/8 drive), long 16mm socket...its still a very tight fit
time taken ~30min
ps if you are changing the water pump, do it then, the steel pipe is what gets in the way..dont be a dickhead like me and forget
