Just to check that, in a balanced category, if $f \colon A\rightarrow B$ induces a surjection(in the sense of set theory) from $Hom(C,A)$ to $Hom(C,B)$ for any object $C$, then $f$ is surjective. I believe that it will give me the desired result.(Hope that I am on the right trend)
Thank you for your reference, for proposition 1, I proved it successfully, but I was now stuck at proposition 2, I nearly have no idea on how to relate the definition of extremal generators with generators via the definition of balanced category
