Took both bolts out. Alternator moved outward one inch and 1/4" out at bottom. Believe wenged in lower bracket. I loosened rear bracket bolt to no avail. Cannot be moved with 36" crow bar. Makes me think others have have had this problem.

Ok there are 3 mounting bolts on this sense it has the V-8 and they also recomend moving the oil filter housing and the upper radiator hose to get it out. Here is a pic of the alternator and all the mounting bolts.
