On a side note relevant to the original topic, I recently popped out my alternator to install new brushes. I found that you don't need to remove axles, master cylinder, or even motor mounts.
All I did was remove oil filter, and remove the two bolts holding the intermediate shaft, I then rotated the intermediate shaft so that the bracket was out of the way. After that the alternator was able to squeeze out between the shaft and the block. It did take a little bit of turning to get the right angle but when I had it turned right I almost dropped the alternator on my head. haha. Anyway its something for you guys to try next time you need to remove the alternator.

Since you mentioned it, I removed an alternator that way once. It was last spring. Didn't have to drop the oil filter though, but still, trying to position it to squeeze out through the intermediate shaft...not much fun. It you're good at removing an axle it can go quicker, though it's more work. I tried it one other time on another car, and dang it just wouldn't got thourgh. Had to remove the axel in the end.
