Need alternator replacement help

All:

I cannot get the alternator to break free from the fan housing. Progress thus far...




I have removed all six bolts which go from the alternator through the housing, but it won't budge. I have tried tapping a block of wood with a hammer but no luck, even with WD-40 sprayed on the lugs.

1. Have I removed everything necessary to remove the alternator from the housing?

2. Can these parts be separated by a bearing press?

3. Should I tap the studs or the center of the alternator?

Thanks in advance!

Paul.
