04 alternator

[Jfoley4444]

Hello. First post here. Be nice

I alternator went bad. Checked fuses, grounding, etc.

In attempting to remove the alternator I’ve gone the fan radiator route. All wiring unplugged. Fan and radiator out. Stripped the nut on long bolt. Cut it off and both bolts removed.

Problem is the alternator won’t come out. It’ll move up and down but not left, right or front to back. It seems it’s pivoting on something. I’m looking for suggestions as to what I missed or what could be impeding it.

Thx

Jim

There may be a video on Youtube with a DIY for this. The only other option is to find the FSM manual online and look at a sketch of how it is attached.
