Default truck electric leak

I narrowed the problem down to my alternator. Drain of .2 amp.


So, I tried to remove the alternator a got into A REAL MESS. the bottom bolt
is rusted on. Put a 3/8 x 9/16 socket on it and couldn't budge it. Put a
1/2x9/16 socket on it with my S-K Wayne ratchet and couldn't budge it.
Bounced on it, the wrench came loose along with a bunch of knuckle blood.
Put a cheater on a 9/16 impact 6 point socket - the socket spit in two
parts - never seen that before. Took the radiator out and put my impact
wrench on it, still no joy. I said something like mother f%^& cock %^*&( and
called it a day.
