Hi Smoggy it could be that the com end bearing is gone in the alternator causing the rotor to bind against the stator when the belt is on but when the belt is released the rotor centralises and you can freely turn it. if you have the belt off get hold of the pulley in one hand and hold alternator down on the bench with your other hand and see if the pulley moves sideways or possibly you might shake it and see if it rattles,also spin the pulley and see if it make a noise ?
