Angry STUCK alternator

I have a 77 F250 that sat for 4 years. I am doing some major rework on this thing and the alternator is stuck in it. Any ideas on how to get it out. Thanks.

Are you saying it is seized and the pulley won't turn ?
or you can't get it off the engine ?

no, I am trying to say that I can't get it out of the engine. I have tried some channel locks and it would not budge. I don't want to break it off in the motor.

yes, you can change the title. I was trying to figure out if I could change it, but I guess I probably can't. Thanks to all. I will try it.

I had the same problem. Soaked it for several days with penetrating oil and did a lot of swearing. That did it!
