Alternator Bracket removal
Merry Christmas all. Does anyone have any tips for disconnecting the alternator bracket on the 06 IS 250? I have been searching forums for help, and removing this bracket seems to be tricky. I am following along the TIS repair manual step by step with no problem, but I have hit a wall with this bracket. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

The bracket is going to have to come off with the alternator. I used all half drive tools. I used a regular 12mm 12 point socket with a 6 inch extension and 1/2 drive ratchet. It was the perfect size because when you put the socket to turn the bolt, the end of the ratchet barely touches the beam that runs through the engine bay. To find the bolt, you need to remove the ECU to barely see it. But if you reach down the engine bay, you'll feel a stud and a square piece that sticks out of the engine, right above the square piece and maybe 3 inches towards the engine is the bolt.
