Default Allen key bolt at bottom of alternator

Hello All,

I am almost halfway through changing the alternator. I have all of the bolts off and I'm now just trying to loosen the allen bolt under the alternator.

It won't budge and access is challenging. I can't tell what size it is and the last thing that I want to do is wreck the bolt so that it never comes out.

I've tried with an allen key which I think fits, but I can't get enough purchase on it for it to budge. I tried also with a similar sized torx bit but it won't budge either and I don't want to out any more force on it in case I wreck it.

I gave it a spay with some bolt loosening stuff but it ain't moving...

Any bright ideas please?

Thank you ;o)

Steve
