    Hello.
    I got a battery control and I have no power. I checked with a multimeter and there is no charging. I wanted to take the alternator to an electromechanic. Unfortunately, I have a problem pulling it out. I took off the strap. I unscrewed the top screw easily. To deal with the lower one I had to unscrew the spring from the belt tensioner. Both screws unscrewed, but the alternator will not vibrate! Do you have an idea what's going on?
    greetings

    Pictures of the screws that I unscrewed:

    So 100% only has these 2 screws from the picture? When I tried to move it, the whole car actually moves.

    And there were no 3 screws by chance? Instead of 2 long passages, one long and 2 short?
    As everything is definitely unscrewed, pry it with a crowbar or something, it could "press" with the bushing of the bolts to the handle on the engine.

    Screws 2 long at the bottom and short at the top. Alu stuck to alu.

    The ones I've turned off have the same length. If you write that it's stuck tomorrow I'll try to hit harder.

    Don't hit, just pry. As if you were tightening the belt with an alternator without a self-tensioner ;)

    And challenge the compact / solid construction of the alternator (I'm not a mechanic but I think you will understand screw fasteners)

    You forgot to add that this is a Z14XEP engine, because as you can see some are confusing with older engines.
    It simply holds on clamped bushes. They never go out lightly. If you do not know where you can put a loin to pry it then you can break something.

    Right, I forgot, and this is quite important information. Is there another way for these sleeves to not damage anything? If not, where could I put something to challenge?

    For fastening ears. It's safe there.

    Mopping WD40 or some other means something?

    Another means yes. Rust remover. You can also screw in the screws again, but not only with a slight looseness. Each of them sells several delicate hammers in the head. It will fall out by itself

    Thanks to everyone for quick responses and help.
    Screwing in and a light hammer blow helped :)
