Thank you very much for taking the time to make and post the video. That is very kind.

The bolt and pulley are off already and getting the bolt back in to free off the nut is just not happening as I can't get it aligned. Should I make up drift and use it to knock the nut until it frees off. I take it doing that pulls the nut forward a little and reduces friction between the captive nut and the part the alternator fixes to allowing it to come out?

I don't understand what role the nut plays in making it difficult to remove the alt
