I hear you on the clamps. I -briefly- considered replacing them all with some other solution.

Having the same issue currently with removing the alternator. Is the bushing attached to bracket or is it part of the alternator itself? And how do I know when it comes loose? I have knocked the crap out of the bolt and removed the long bolt and still no movement of the alternator? Guess I need to hit it harder?

PS. I really grew to hate the ****ing clamps and connectors Porsche uses everywhere. The spring clamps on every hose and connectors that require squeezing specific parts (parts that for some reason are all ****ing pointing down or away from you) had me using many many curse words. Alternator removal which in theory should take 5 minutes took me hours.

Makes those horrible water hose clamps go much easier. Once connected, they lock so you can move it around without having to apply pressure. You still curse doing it, but not as much.
