Hi Graham,
Returning to the original question......
As said earlier, the long boat must be removed, as there is a recess in the dynamo that 'contains' the long bolt. This bolt is near to the block core plug (as shown in your picture). Unfortuntely, this appears to be a stud and nut on your car. If this is the case, and the stud doesn't come out when you loosen the nut, I believe you will have to remove the whole aluminium housing and fan assy. Make sure that you support the weight of the dynamo when loosening the 4 fixings. Once undone, with the fan belt removed, the whole assembly will lift straight off. Another unfortunately...The fixing behind the fan pulley can be very difficult to get to, with the radiator on.
Hopefully someone will provide tips to make this an easier job than I've made it sound.
All the best,
Colin
