Find the biggest hammer and start pounding on it, eventually it'll fall out, then simply toss the new one in it's place :flipoff:

You do know that swapping out an alternator is easier than changing the sparkplugs......

disconnect neg battery cable, un hook wires going to alt, loosen 2 bolts then remove belt. Remove the 2 bolts and take in out. Reverse procedure to install.....
