I'll second the impact aswell.
I tried inserting something inside the alternator body to hold the shaft, and rotate the nut with a breaker bar. I was scared of breaking a fin or messing something up, so I went to a shop where they had the right tool for the job.

I have messed things up in the past trying to do things with the wrong tool. Doing it with the right tool will save you time, money, and the headaches of fucking shit up haha.
