OK, I've got all the belts I need off. Now I'm working on just tryin to drop the alternator so I can get my impact wrench to it, yet I can seem to budge the ******. Any suggestions on the best way to get to this damn thing??? I see there are what seems to be 2 bolts holding the alternator on the bracket, I tried removing them and moveing the alternator, didn't seem to budge. The other way I was thinking is try to get the all 3 bolts of the actual alternator bracket, well, i'm 2/3 and stuck not being able to get to the 3rd one seeing as it's pretty much behind the F'n alternator itself. Any (FAST) help would be appreciated greatly. I'm not about to rip the blower out to get to the damn alternator. Thanks.

actually, I got the alternator free, I guess now my question would be. clockwise or CCW to get the pulley off?

 

CCW to get it off, just like a normal bolt. you may need to use an impact to break it loose.
