Brake cleaner is a powerful degreaser. You "degreased" the bearings inside which is why it wouldn't turn. I really hope the brake cleaner didn't melt the enamel off the windings. That would suck if the coils are shorted inside...
That alternator will probably fail in the very near future. Not a good idea to have sprayed it.
BTW, if you think carburetor cleaner is bad you should avoid brake cleaner too. Just as "toxic" as carb cleaner.

Yeah I can't swear I used his part number or if I accident ordered the screws after I was checking prices...It was a mistake, don't put to much into it.....
Sorry I know what I did, and what caused it....hints to why I tried to open it...
Yep I know it will, probably not because of this but because of the voltage regulator brushes being worn....If I get 6mo/year out of it...I'll be happy....I have a digital voltage gauge wired into the car to keep an eye on voltage....Please don't start talking amps, discharge or other odd electrical crap...I am not getting into it...
I am not getting into this....
