    Alternator bracket removal?

    i am trying to remove the alternator bracket from the block to get to my oil filter housing. after removing the alternator and hinged bracket it seems i will have to remove the right/back bushing that covers the 4th bolt holding the bracket on the block. the other 3 are easy to get to and not an issue. its that 4th bolt that concerns me.
    am i correct in thinking i need to remove that bushing?
    if so how hard is it to remove and replace? i have limited tools where i am at so i don't want to be in the middle of it and find out i can't do it.

    Yeah the bushing is in the way. If it is really old, then it might be sort of stuck in there, but it is just supposed to slide in and out without too much trouble. No special tools should be needed.

      ok, thanks. i would imagine its original, like most other things on this car.
      i just didn't want to get to a point of no return and have to tow my car somewhere.

        The bushing pops right out with a screwdriver. It was super easy for me to remove. 10 seconds total.

          i assume it was just as easy to put back in? that's the part i am most worried about.

          depending on weather, i am going to try this again this weekend.
