There is the back part of this bolt has to move quarter inch while you are hammering! And you will see that alternator start getting loose. And then jiggle the alternator and see how loose it become. If it is not that loose hammer back again! Once it is loose remove regardless of order bottom or top bolt and put the alternator to the bottom of the engine tray!

Yes, thanks, I read that, and it reminded me of the posts in this thread from the user who I think also points to the same bolt in the back as the solution to the removal problem. I look forward to seeing what happens....
