I'm trying to remove my bad alternator but cannot seem to locate the proper bottom bolt to remove the alternator I've removed the only top bolt as well as having fully disconnected the alternator, but for some reason I can't get it even be loose. Do you have any suggestion on what I should d or try next. thank you for your speedy responce

The alternator has three bolts directly below it. Two of those bolts go into the engine. The bolt you should remove is the one furthest away from the engine (only about 2.5 inches from the others). I you turn the wheels all the way to the right, you may be able to see the bolt when looking through the wheel-well. There may be a smaller/much shorter bolt attached to the back of the alternator (for stability).

Sometimes you can rent/borrow these special tools from your local auto parts stores (once you return the tool you get a FULL refund).
