Much easier than that on a 3.0 2nd gen. Remove driver side battery (for better access) disconnect the other battery.
Slacken the 2 bolts (not as bad as they appear to be once you find them)holding the alternator then wind the adjuster in so you can get the belts off. Take the 2 bolts off and disconnect the plug and remove the 10mm nut and with some wrangling will come out

Okay, whats the trick to removing the grey wiring plug - mine seems stuck! There is a flexible "lug" on the top side which moves, but doesn't want to release anything.
Any tips?
Sorted it.
used some special grease I found in my elbow...
