Look what I've got. Hope chinesium alternator

Got a few theoretical questions.
1. how do you check the alternator? If I feed 12V to the excitation terminal, it should generate a bit of voltage when I spin it, even by hand, right? And I should feel some resistance while turning the rotor?
2. Why use a Lewis pin to line up the meshing gears on the rotor? Why not use a splined tool to turn the inner rotor while pushing the gears in?
