this is real beginner stuff bro! I'm temted to take ur man card away from you.
the only one hard to remove is the AC, that would b a legit question.

Lol I know it a beginner level fix but I Honestly tried everything except taking the whole alternator out, I took out most bolts and the thing won't budge

remove the tensioner bolt, then the long nut n bolt , and it should wiggle free, and this is all done from under the car.

well like said above you gotta kinda give it a good wiggle, i had my motor out already and went to swap belts and it was a little tough to move around at first so just give it the good ol brute force and it will go eventually

and if u think that is hard, wait till u have to install the new belt, u have to find a way to pull tension on the belt, deff not a 1 man job. so grab a buddy and good luck.
