Update
The braking system has a connecter box about halfway down the car on the passenger side. It's leaking from there and is a common fault. No big deal to sort out.

Yip, and I have everything undone, but it doesn't want to come out. There is a lot of friction between the alternator and the two points where the bolt with the pulley wheel goes through.
