does the alternator pivot freely or is that rough as well... the only thing i can say is to put some WD-40 or equivalent and try some "convincing"

yeah you should be able to move it by hand.
does the alternator have a removeable mount like on the d16? if so u may be able to remove it with the mount still attached and then let you other tools do the talking

Did you ever get that bolt free. I have been having the same exactly problem with my 1998 Civic EX.

I have heated, pb blaster, heated, pb blaster then sledged the **** out of it like every day for the past 5 days. I have not given up yet. But the bolt is not moving at all. I can pry the alternator back and forth on the pivot bolt with a pry bar and a hammer, this blows!

Hopefully you got yours off and can tell me what you did !!!

The Alternator does have a that removable mount, it is held on by two 14mm bolts. One can be accessed easily, the other is blocked by the alternator itself.
