how to pull out an alternator
I managed to release the alternator from all cables and blots, but i cannot find any way to pull it out. I simply cannot find a place with enough room to take it out. If anyone knows how to do this, please tell me. I think i have to remove something, but i don't know whta, and in the repair manual a can't find this information.

I did it :D
Ok, guy, thanks to you and this forum I managed to see things
more clearly.
I realised that the air conditioning was not working anyway, so
I removed the AC pipe that was on top, exaclty in the way. I had to
unscrew some clips for other hoses too. Anyway... after the AC pipe
was out of the way, I did as you guys said: rotate it until the right angle
came in and the pulled it out: I was yelling and jumping of joy when I had
that crap above my head
Tomorrow I'll put the new one, hope everything will go fine.
P.S. : It was indeed a b---- to take it out, took me 3 days

ok easist way to remove alternator (on a 4cyl)
so you have to then jack up the front end (or use ramps) crawl under and unbolt your exhaust from the downpipe/flexpipe this should allow you to rest the exhaust pipe and cat on the ground
after that if you look up you should be able to see the bottom of the alternator, now you have to try and get the alternator down behind the engine ( you may have to carefully bend your ac lines out of the way ) the entire alternator will now have room to slip out from under the car
to replace the new alternator you just have to reverse this process
