guys,
ive searched all alternator threads and am using Mike Focke's alternator swap tutorial...

im to the point where i have the belt off and the lower alternator bolt completely out, and i have the other bolt (with the pulley on it) completely loose and out of the bushing in the rear of the alternator...

i can get it to rotate clockwise only about 1mm and that's it.. seems stuck on the pulley side (when looking from inside the cabin of the car)

i keep seeing people say "hit it with a hammer" but i dont know what to hit, where to hit it, and what the purpose is..

can someone help me finish up getting this alt out? how far am i?
