Cant get the alternator bolt to come lose hit it with hammer with number 10 mm socket and wrench on it will not break loose what about the bolt right next to the adjusting bold the long one does it need to come out. Something is holding the alternator bolt in place hitting it anticlockwise. Not working. Donated five on this question already.

Soak the bolt/nut in penetrating fluid and see if you can get a breaker bar on it with a socket.

Unforunately that bolt needs to come out to remove the alternator. If that doesn't work you may have to carefully heat the bolt to crack it loose.
