I replaced the alternator on our 98 taurus dohc. The keys were to:
drop the subframe
remove inner fender liner
spin the alternator so the pulley faces the driver's side. Then you can slide it out.

I got these ideas from reading previous posts. Thanks guys.

Yep, just be careful not to snag the crank sensor connector while maneuvering it.

Yeah those duratechs may be more desireable but the vulcan are much easier to work on!

Could you have gotten it out without dropping the subframe? Did you lower it completely or just a little?
