Perhaps someone replaced the OEM bolt with a shorter one because getting the long bolt out can be a pain. The obvious flaw to this seemingly brilliant plan is that the nut on the end of the bolt can't be put on. It could also be that the bushings aren't fully seated and keep the bolt from going all the way through. To replace the bolt and bushings, you'll have to undo two of the three bolts securing the alternator bracket. This allows the bracket and alternator to be rotated on a third bolt to provide clearance for the long bolt to be removed/inserted.
Begin by undoing the belt tensioning mechanism and removing the belts, then undo the bolts on the Alt bracket. One of the bolts securing the Alt bracket also holds the AC bracket in place (unbolting the AC compressor and moving it to the side helps, leave the hoses connected). I bent a 12mm box end wrench and grab it with a vice grips to make turning the bolt easier. The second bolt is to the left as you look at the Alt bracket it and can be accessed with an extension on a socket set.
