Alternator Removal - been researching but a bit stuck

2004 986 Boxster S UK right hand drive

OK, having watched a couple of YouTube videos I am still a little unclear on two things.

1) one video suggests the alternator is removed from above but I can't see how that happens with the manifolds in the way.

Surely it comes through the front into the passenger compartment.

2) I have the belt removed and the drivers side bolt removed. It's a right had drive car. The more central bolt and pulley have been removed but I can't get the alternator to pull through to the front.

Any tips for working the unit out? There are hoses tight above the alternator. The engine block below.

The collar in the back of the alternator housing for the central bolt is seized solid so I plan to take that out and replace with a new one once the alternator is out. Is that feasible?

Many thanks

Derek
