I just the other day un-stuck mine from the hole thru the alternator.
If you can get in there with a propane torch,the repeated heat/cool cycles will usually help get it loose.
Or,you may be able to take out the small bolt that holds it to the back of the alternator,then it can turn with the bolt.Once it's out of the truck,it's easier to work on.Of course,you'll have to take the alt and front bracket out with it.
