Removed axle to replace alternator but cannot seem to be able to remove alternator. Removed all three screws from alternator, but still having problems trying to get alternator out.

Hello,

You may need to loosen and remove the engine mounts and jack the engine out of the way a little. This should give you the room you need.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
