Technical Alternator Removal
According to manual,
1, Disconnect Battery Negative terminal connection.
2. Remove Air cleaner assembly
3. Remove Aux drive belt
4. Remove right side drive shaft!
5. unscrew bolt securing rear engine mount to subframe.
6. Unscrew retaining nuts and remove electrical connections.
7. Unscrew upper and lower alternator mounting bolts from engine, NOTE, it may be necessary to tip the engine forward slightly to gain access to the upper bolt!
Never done one myself but sounds like a right palaver, 'Remove Driveshaft' really?

Hi.
We had a Canadian member with a similar issue .
Its not super busy on here with the us spec versions.
So may be easier to track down the issue.

The us cars all run a 1.4 engine
Think it a different 1.4 the what we have in the UK as well
Tell us what you HAVE managed to do.
Is the locking nut off?
Is the bolt still tight??
Is access to slide it out the problem ?
So just to confirm the bolt is stuck in the tightened up state and you can't undo it?
