Alternator Removal

Hi all,
I'm in the process of an alternator replacement, and I cannot for the life of me get it out. I have the lower (passenger side) bolt loosened so that it can pivot and I'll be able to get it out. I loosened the idler pulley bolt a couple turns and sprayed the rear bushing with WD-40 and a rust solvent. I've been using a soft hammer to hit the bolt to knock the rear alternator bushing loose with no luck. I've let the bushing sit with both sprays on it overnight, with no luck. There's no room to safely fit anything like a torch. What do you suggest I do? Is there another way to get this off that i'm not seeing?
