Issue removing alternator

[Audiobox]

Ok, so I need to replace my alternator and im in the process of removing it. My issue is with actually getting it out.

I removed the long bolt at the top, the nut on the right side, and the long tentioning bolt on the bottom front. According to the info I found all I have to do now is wiggle it out. Well it moves back and forth but will not come out fully. Do I have to remove the bolt piece at the bottom that the little nut screws to and the tension bolt goes through? Or should it just pop out as I have it now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I feel as if its something stupid im missing, lol.

I assume this has to be removed for the Alt to come out. If its suppose to come out how would I go about getting it out?

Disconnect the 4P connector (A) and BLK wire (B) from the alternator.

Remove the adjusting bolt (A), locknut (B), and mounting bolt (C), then remove the alternator belt and alternator.
Install in the reverse order of removal.

2/3 bolts are out and the nut is off, im just having trouble sliding the top A bolt on the picture out. The nut is off the end of it and the longer bolt is out of the bottom, but this top A bolt wont budge. Its a bit rusted too. I sprayed WD40 on it awhile ago but still not moving.

It's probably stuck due to the rust. I would suggest forgetting WD40 and using PB blaster which u can get at autozone. Works much better,
also, are u suppose to unscrew it out or pull it out? u never know haha

good luck!
