My lights started dimming irregularly, so it was time. This thread was a great help, as it took about 2 hours total. A couple notes:
1. Tapping the spacer on the upper mount - agree, a great help
2. Remove the splash shield - agree, also a great help
3. I didn't have to loosen any other mounts / bolts to get it removed, just some twisting and cajoling to get it out through the bottom.
Upon inspection, my removed alternator is a remanufactured unit.
Thanks again.
