1997 Acura TL 3.2 V6, So I've got the battery and battery tray out, as well as the belt. I removed the harness in the back and the top and bottom bolts, but can't wrestle it out around the bracket along the top?? Any ideas on getting the bracket off?

Kind of late but i had the same issue when i did my sisters alternator and got no answers. But for anyone who finds this thread in the future there are 3 bolts on the under side of the bracket that you have to remove then the alternator comes right out. you can reach under and feel them with your fingers. They were easy to get out but annoying to put back in

Also would add that the replacement alternators pulley(from autozone) was about 1/2 smaller than the one i took out and i bent the tensioner bolt putting it in so i had to buy a new one. To avoid that i would swap the pulleys before installing the new one.
