Red face HELP!! alternator stuck...

Trying to remove the alternator (Foxy wants it painted MetalCast Purple). Removed the two bolts that typically hold in an alternator, but the thing wont budge. Having gotten a bit older, I leave the use of a pry bar as a last resort.

Am I missing something, or is the thing in there that tight?

Please help...

Tim (Foxy's husband, Roxy's wanabe mechanic...)

yeah, there's a sliding bushing that pulls tight against the pivot mount when the bolt is torqued, you have to get it to slide back a bit and loosen it's grip on the alternator housing
