97 Grand Caravan Alternator removal

[todd_johnson9]

Have a bad alternator on my 97 GC. Got it unbolted, but can't figure out how to get the alternator OUT... No room to the left, no room to the right over the intake manifold and a support bracket in the middle. Any ideas besides selling??

A little more free advice--Once you fix it, get rid of it....
