Default Need help with my 86' Accords alternator

Ok my prob is that the car has not been in use for 2 years and now the alternator is stuck. Is there any way to fix it or do I have to replace it?
If I have to replace it then what would be the cheapest way?

The engine code is A20A4.

Thanks in advance!

Not much you can do.
It means the bearing in the alternator has seized.

The only way to fix it it is replace it, which is not that hard or complicated a job.

If there are ever any loud screaming noises coming from your car in the future, stop driving it until they are fixed.
