99 Jetta 2.0 Trying to remove the alternator to check the voltage regulator brush. I removed both mounting bolts on the alternator per Haynes manual, but the thing won't budge. It's stuck, like I missed a bolt or something...but I don't see anything. Anyone know how to get it off? Thanks, Brad

On my 2003 it is just real tough to pull it out. Of course that means it is real tough to put back in.
If they are designed like the A3, they are hard to remove but once you know how, it's quite easy. You need a big-assed screw driver and wriggle out one side at a time.
