How to select & modify chart elements without having to double-click on them

Hi there,
I have created a chart with a secondary y-axis. I have unchecked the
y-axis's tickboxes and so on so that it is effectively hidden. The
problem is when I want to select it again in order to change the scale
setting (for example) I can't find it. So even if I hover in that area
with my mouse, Excel does not identify it, making it impossible to
double-click to format the axis. I find this happens when to chart
becomes complex/busy, making it difficult to select elements with the
mouse. So my question is this - is there another way to select chart
elements, in stead of using the mouse?

It works as well using your arrow-keys - take a look at the status bar what
is currently selected. Sometimes it's anyway tricky to get the properties
dialogue using the right mouse button - use the menu entry instead...
