Just had a look on the thread I posted on when I did my crank sensor and it says I undid the top 2 bolts.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I could not get that allen bolt to move on mine either :dry: and using a prybar to rotate the alternator needed so much force I really felt that the alloy casing was about to shatter.
To cut a long story short, I ended up removing the radiator, then unbolting the alternator support bracket from the engine to take the whole lot into the garage where it came undone once I got proper tools to it.
Can't remember why moles wouldn't clamp on in situ with the radiator out, but if they would have I wouldn't have taken the whole bracket off :lol: With the radiator out I was able to get a good fitting hex key socket in the bolt, and use enough force to simply make the hexagon hole perfectly round without anything else happening :whistle:
The other end of the bolt is into a welded on nut on the back of the bracket, so even though you can get a socket to it, you can't turn anything.
