I wonder if Wayne has actually done this in the car. When I replaced the top idler pulley, the long bolt does not simply "pull out". It runs into the back of the sheet metal that surrounds the shifter cables as they pass through the rear bulkhead. You can pull the bolt forward until the head hits the sheet metal, but you can't extract it. When I did this, I bent the sheet metal forward about 1/2" to get clearance. An alternative might have been to remove the alternator. But it CAN'T just be pulled out.

A little creative thinking bending the sheet metal forward for bolt removal. Thanks for the tip. You might check your engine and transmission mounts. When failing they change a lot of clearances for the engine and transmission.
