I'd hoped to get it off without too much mangling, my reasons:
1) I can't really get anything to mangle close to it - its hard even to get a hand to it, let alone a grinder.
2) It looks like I need to remove some brackets to spin it off, if I mangle it and buy a new one, I still need to remove the same brackets to spin the new shiney one on to the block
3) If done properly It might come off and be perfectly re-usable
I'm going into the garage now to try to slacken the alternator and PAS mountings and find the rest of the bolts to see if I can budge the PAS bracket out of the way so I can spin it off. If anyone has any hints or tips here, please don't hold back.
Cheers everyone
