C32 waterpump questions..

On the waterpump, the bolt on the left that holds the Alternator, how do you remove this bolt? I may just be dumb, if i turn it left it just tightens back up, what am i missing here?

And the radiator, which i'm replacing, i have everything removed including the fan. I have read the write up and it says nothing about being more clips, but it appears there is on the sides of the radiator. I can get to them, barely, but i'm not sure how they come off and don't want to break them. Any tips or info on the proper way of getting it "un hooked"?

Pretty simple questions, i just don't wanna break things and end up like..

The Alternator bolt should just come out like normal, counter clockwise position. Just keep turning, it may have something in the threads that you'll have to break through. YOu may want to put one hand on the alternator also as you untighten, lift it up a bit so the whole weight isn't on the bolt. Once you get the bolt out you can just leave the Alt in place until you're ready to screw it back in.
