3 options....

remove the intake see if you can get to it from there
drop the engine, remove the intake & see about access
get a long punch, threaded rod, etc and knock the bushing out the back from the front. This will be the most likely method that works best. you want metal on metal to do this.

JFP might have another suggest, but I very much doubt you will get jbweld to hold onto anything for this.

It's been a year and wrenched on 6 other cars since I removed the alternator so I can't remember if that bolt threads to the back of the alternator or if there is a bolt on the back end. So option 1 or 2 might be the best route.

Removing the pass intake is easier then driver side at least.

If you were removing the pully to replace the alternator then if you have to grind/drill off anything on it at least it was going to be replaced anyway.
