Who's the #$%^& genius that put the alternator

where you can't remove it from the engine compartment?????????
Should be simple right? 2 bolts, remove, replace, voila. No dice. Able to remove it, but it won't fit out through the gaps between any of the engine components. Eventually loosened all v-belts, loosened the fan shroud, passed alternator into space between radiator and engine block, cut the top portion of the fan shroud in half (neatly, despite the fact that it was 10:30 at night), bent the fan shroud outwards and finally, there it is.What a PITA!! Anyone else have this problem? Alex
