removal of #3 is definitely not needed.
it really is just a matter of wiggling and tilting until you are able to slide it out of #4 a few inches or so to get access to the back.

there's no connections on top, just on the very back. pay close attention to how these go before you disconnect them.

you've already done the hard part, which was getting the long bolt out of that rail, now you just need to rotate back towards that rail a little bit to raise the alternator over #4 and then tilt it. should be clear enough to pull right out the front and hang by the wires, disconnect them and it will slide right out.

when reinstalling, pay VERY close attention to the bolt side... you saw the carnage I got when the alternator freed itself... getting it towed tomorrow as a matter of fact. my #4 snapped off completely!
