I have a Mazda 626 1999 I have loosed all the bolts just took off the battery connection and I have having trouble taking off the clip wire and getting it out of the engine. It does not look like I will be able to get it out at all. Please help!

The procedure to remove the alternator is as follows:---Locate the alternator on the front of the engine. Remove the drive belt from the alternator pulley by loosening  lock nut on the front of the alternator adjustment pulley . Then, turn  adjustment bolt on the end of the adjustment bracket with the ratchet and socket.Pull the alternator belt out of the alternator pulley. Remove the positive battery cable from the back of the alternator.Unplug the wiring connector on the back of the alternator by squeezing and pulling out on the plug at the same time.Loosen and remove the top alternator pivot bolt .Jack the front of the Mazda 626 and place a car stand under the proper jacking point on the front driver side of the car. Lower the 626 onto the stand and leave the jack in place.Remove the driver-side front wheel with the tire tool. Place the wheel on the ground. Then, remove the plastic cover from the back of the wheel compartment by pulling the clips through the holes on the plastic cover. Lay the cover on the ground.Loosen the bottom alternator pivot bolt. Pull the bolt out as far as it will go. Then, slide the pry bar under the alternator and pry the alternator toward the passenger side of the car until the bottom bolt comes out of the alternator.Pull the alternator out of the alternator bracket with your hands. Then, pull the alternator through the wheel well and place it on the ground.
