I'm attempting to replace the alternator on the 2001 Sante Fe and am having trouble removing the Pivot Bolt. I removed the nut from the front of the bolt and attempted to slide the bolt rearward toward the front of the engine. It seems to run into the front of the engine before it's completely free of the alternator housing.

Is there a step that I'm missing in the process to remove the alternator?

Did you get it yet ?
I just replaced the alternator on my 2001 Santa Fe and I thought the same thing ...
Once you take the top bolt off then loosen the bottom just pry the alternator away from the bracket. The bracket that is holding the alternator is "C" shaped so it can just be popped out once the bottom through bolt is loosened.
Hope this helps... now on to front struts and ball joints :banana:
