I had to replace my 99 taurus alternator last summer. I had the smae problem. Besides taking off the serpetine belt, and front passenger wheel, and tie rod, you have to support the front undercarriage (I used two floor jacks) and then remove two carriage bolts that attach the two subframes together. Once the the two carriage bolts are removed, you carefully lower the two jacks and allow the front sub assembly to drop down about a couple of inches. This provides just enough room to allow the alternator to sneak out though the front passenger side wheel well. Good luck!
