Take it out\install it from the top. Move the alternator, generator and whatever else maybe in the way up there.
I just did this a couple months ago with my 55 and it worked great.
Of course you have to remove the column and all too.
But that's not so hard and it beats taking off the lower A arms and all.

Unless you have an original style alternator, it's a piece of cake from the top. I just replaced mine with power steering.

Just follow the instructions in the Shop Manual and you'll be fine.....See link:http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1955/55csm0907.html
