Looks like this thread belongs to me--OK--to whomever it may concern--YES--you can get to that bolt from underneath--without removing the alternator or anything else except the belt--You have to pick the van up higher than usual --so PLEASE don't try this unless you have a large floor jack and for god sake use jackstands.. anyway, the bolt will be located above the power steering pump--you can see it and don't confuse the one stuck in back of the power steering pump. You need an extra long rachet extension witha 15mm socket- and a flashlight--not easy as most of the work was with one hand.. maybe I had some devine intervention since I am donating the vehicle to a church and have spent $300 and two days of sweat induced frustration getting this POS out of my driveway. Anyway its DONE.
