Title: alternator removal
Post by armatec on Jan 20^th, 2007, 10:41am

hi all, can anyone please help me with removing my alternator??
to be honest i dont think ill be able to as its on blocks being scrapped, so raising it to work underneith is not an option..

got the top bolt out no problem, but the bottom one seems very long and i think the bolt is just spinning??

many thanks
kev

The bottom bolt has a nut on the other end. You can hold the nut but using a 13mm ring spanner, it's a bit fiddly getting it on, as you're working blind. Then undo the bolt from the front ;)

Once the alternator is off then you can turn it over slightly to get the leads off :)
