How to tighten Alternator pulley bolt?

How do you tighten the alternator pulley bolt? Figured out that's what the rattling noise was...I mean there's no room at all to get in there and wouldn't it just spin if I tryed to tighten?

see if theres play in the shaft. The bearings might be shot, causing it to move around.
