I was concerned that if I removed
the nut so I could really get at the back of the alternator, my fingers
would not be able to get the nut back on in that cramped area. It's
pretty tight in there. Needlenose pliers?

13 mm box end wrench with a fold of electrical tape on one flat of the nut
to hold it into the wrench. Magnet on a stick to retrieve it when it falls
out. The second time you'll get it.
