Thanks man. The last alternator I took off wasn't that easy. In the end I smashed it to the ground and beat it to a hundred little shards of metal w/a 5pnd lump hammer.

bolts were seized in there pretty good and had to keep the shaft from spinning when removing the 4 bolts for the clutch fan. i know there are other methods to do this, but this has always worked for me
