I've been under and on top of the engine bay of my '06 Jag XJ6 R and R the alternator which is low and tight WRT location. Some say remove a radiator hose (nope) or the front sway bar (nope) or just lift out the electric fans assembly (yep) to get a wrench in there. Actually by the time you get the front belt to the a/c off and loosen the double nutted tensioner to the alt including the harness, almost all my metric sockets and wrenches were on the ground. 8, 10, 13, 15 and 17mm all needed.
Due to abbreviated work periods to save what I have left, I've been going out there in the mornings for 20-30 minute sets. Crawling is tough at 80.
