Help! I am helping my father-in-law change the alternator on his 1993 Chrysler Town and Country. It has the 3.3L engine. Everything is disconnected (bolts, belt, wires), and it is free... but we can't get it out of the van. Chilton's says it must be removed from underneath. We get it all the way down and the catalytic converter, floorboard and the frame won't let it pass. We tried every twist and turn we could imagine.

The mounting bracket on the top won't allow it to be removed from above. That bracket runs down the entire left side of the motor.

Is there a trick to getting it out from underneath?

Without seeing it, it may be necessary to disconnect the exhaust pipe(s) from the manifold to lower the exhaust enough to remove the alternator. Not uncommon. Some Hondas' require drive axle removal to gain access.
