1996 Cherokee alternator problems

I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport with 4.0 straight six. I have disconnected and un-bolted the alternator but am un-able to get it out of the space that it is in. I have removed the front bracket also but still no luck. Should it come out from the bottom or top? Are there any other things that need to be removed to get it out? Should I remove the fan blade? I am stuck and need help???
