the pulley was turning didn't have something to keep it from turning so I could get the bolt off (but I was underneath the car) I got on top of engine took filter and something else off and got the bolt to turn ,I hope I can get it back on with no problems would you know the torque specs for that bolt it's a 17mm

I definitely couldn't remove the alternator without removing the PS pulley. there is a hole on the PS pulley, jam a wrench in there so it wont turn then use a socket to remove the nut.

after i replaced the alternator, the plastic clip on the wire harness broke into pieces. Got a new one from amazon and didn't use butt plugs, i unpinned the wires from the old clip then pinned them on the new one. Just letting you know in case you come across this issue.
