Which year? The later alternators have a blind nut in the ear on the alternator. The early have a through bolt and nut. Have to get a box end on the nut.

Could be that someone replaced it with a non-metric.

like most items that need to be unbolted on these cars, you need hands the size of a dwarfs ! its tricky, but using an offset wrench, and even removing the plastic valve cap from the a/c, to get the last bit of clearance to access the nut will help.
lately, having probs with my alternator, i have taken it off a couple times this week, and its a pain. no skin left on knuckles again !! keep at it !! bob.
