Can you not get into the engine bay?

In that case....undo the retaining bolt/clamp that holds the battery to the tray, then hopefully there will be enough movement in the battery to access the positive terminal clamp...its quite safe with the negative terminal disconnected.

Thanks. I've done that and it hits the alternator, so looks like it's got to come out?
