Alternator woes.

My '86 900 S (400K+) is having alternator troubles. While it has gone through a couple of alternators, that isn't my particular problem. The alternator in this car no longer stays tight. The bottom bolt seems to work its way loose, and would fall out if it didn't run into the body of the car. I was wondering if anyone had any tips/tricks to tighten that particular bolt without removing anything else. I would even accept a quick fix, just to allow me to drive it to the mechanic. As it is right now, the belts would fall off, which has happened in the past. I can't afford for it to overheat or for the battery to die, and there is a lot of city driving to get to the mechanic. If the belts were to fall off, I don't think I would make it. Any help would be appreciated.
