alternator removal question

Hey guys im having some issues removing my old 2g alternator to install my new 3g alternator! I know this seems like a silly thing to post but im at witts end. I need my truck for work tommrow and right know it seems like everything I touch breaks

The problem is that bottom bolt broke off and im not sure what I can do to fix this. If i could get it on a bench i could probbly drill it out but im not sure if ill be able to drill it out where it is. Any help would be great

Bottom bolt , Your talking about the pivot bolt,yes? I would pull off the Alt. bracket and drill it on the bench. You may be able to do it on the eng. But I would still do it on the bench though. But post a picture so we can give you the best advice

I took it to my buddys shop and we were able to get it out. The 3g swap seems to be pretty good so far
