I have no experience of this but ...

Once you have the lower bolt loosened so that it slides freely, just pivot the alternator down and remove it. You do not need to completely remove the bolt.

Just removed alternator myself I found I had to drop the a/c pump out of way just be careful of pipes, remove the top mounting bracket from engine for extra clearance lossen the bottom alternator bolt the one that can’t be removed as it hits the frame but it doesn’t need completely removing, then pivot the alternator out from the bottom the mounting point, the bolt guide has a slit Down the length allowing removal, sorry for bad description but didn’t think of taking pictures as I was doing job and spent better part of a day working it out, hope this helps
