Thanks ILUVMILS. I'll try to wedge it out tonight again. The vehicle only has 140K Kms, so I'll have the alternator bench tested before getting it rebuilt...any other suggestions on how to get this thing out is appreciated. BTW ILUVMILS, once I get it loosened from the bracket, which way is the best way to get it out of the engine compartment? Upward, forward or from under the car?

Thanks again!
