Head freeze plug leaking on engine right side.

Removed alternator from bracket and removed bracket bolts including lower bracket bolt connecting alternator
to belt tensioner bracket.

Alternator bracket is still being held fast and can"t remove it.

All-Data and Mitchell On-Line do not have bracket removal data or bracket layout.
Is it necessary to remove top panel and remove alternator and/or loosen the power steering pump bolts to the belt tensioner bracket to remove the alt. bracket?

Without knowing which engine it is, yes, the Mitsu engine requires the entire front to come apart to gain access to the front of the cylinder head
