I think the bolt on that bracket is supposed to be welded on. Sounds like the weld broke.
You'll need to find a way to lock it down somehow - vice grips or something medieval. Once you get the bracket out you maybe can have it welded up and fixed or it may just be worth getting a good used one, they should be a dime a dozen. This isn't a common problem. Dale |

Nope, JB weld would snap off immediately. It can't take shear loads.
Worst case you'll have to cut it or something. Dale |

The bolt is supposed to have a tab to keep it in the alternator bracket and prevent it from spinning. You need a narrow profile wrench. Snapon makes them.
