How do I remove the alternator on my 96 420a eclipse?

I removed all the bolts and everything and got it off. I just can't pull it out. The steering rack is underneath it so I can't drop it out. The intake manifold gets in the way so I can't pull it out.

You have to lift the engine...

-With your lift jack and a piece wood lift you engine from the oil pan.
Do not over lift the engine just enough to take the engine mount
-Take the passenger engine mount
- You may also have to remove the engine mount below the radiator, to give it some more room to lift
the engine.
-Take out your alternator...

What i did was lift the car and then take off the passenger wheel and slash guard. after that used a jack with a 2x4 under the oil pan and then took off the passenger side top motor mount. while the engine was up i loosened the top alternator bolt, after that i lowered the engine and removed the lower bolts then slid it between the axle and the sway bar. then installed in reverse order.

I got it. What I did was remove the bracket that the alternator adjusted on and then it barely squeezed out the top.
