I've only ever done one and I couldn't find anyway of getting the alternator off without taking the radiator out.

Somebody may be along shortly with some useful tips or tricks but you might just have to bite the bullet !

It's not much of a fag to rem

It's not much of a fag to remove the rad at all (4 bolts IIRC) AND you can give the rad a good flush and refill the system with fresh water and antifreeze at the same time.

You risk damaging the rad if you do anywork regarding the alternator with it still in situ anyway. For the sake of 5 mins (and a possible bill for a new rad), rip it out.
