Battery ligh dim and flickering at High RPM

Dear all,

I have a BMW X5 e53 2003 4.4i with a failed alternator.

I removed the alternator, took it into a shop for repair, once done I put it back in but while tightening one of the 6 bolts I managed to snap the one at the bottom. It's now stuck in there and it gets worse (alternator is still not working so I've got to get it out but now it's stuck to the alternator housing since I've the bottom bolt broken where no drill or any bolt extractor can get to.

Any idea how hard it is to remove the alternator housing? I want to remove it and have it outside the car in order to properly remove the bolt without damaging anything else.

Many thanks
