stuck alternator...
i unpluged it, took out the 12mm top bolt, 14mm bottom stud and bolt. but the alternator isn't moving. it moved down about 1mm but that's it. can't pull it up or anything.
anything else i can try? i need to change my pulley.

Hit it with a rubber mallet a few times to see if it moves. If you cant get the mallet in that tight space put a block of wood on it and hit that. That should get her broken loose

It's probably stuck due to corrosion. When you break it loose you won't have a problem taking it out / putting it in.

Get a prybar and make it move. I wouldnt try to replace the pully in the car just because impact guns own. And you wont have to hold the pully.
Spray some WD40 on there and pry it.

Yeah, pry bar, mallet, whatever. PB Blaster works better than WD-40 for stuck parts though.
