Im seriously pissed now.... ive been cracking at this for 2 days where the hell do i pull the alternator out at everytime its almost out it gets stuck cant pull it out through top or bottom wtf im not Jesus this is one major pain can someone clarify how to get my alternator out..... and now i gotta put new raditor fluid in it cause i pulled off the hoses lol.... someone help me out here!!!

 

Isn't the whole front of your car off? It should be a snap! The alt is held on by one long bolt on the bottom (with the nut on the backside), and the tensioner adjustment on top. The bottom is self explanitory. For the top, remove the nut that faces forward, then undo the long adjustment bolt out the side. Don't forget to disconnect the power lug, the 2-pin alt control connector, and the little grounding strap. Where the alt connects to the engine bracket on the bottom is really tight, so you might have to pry that part free. If you're having problems clearing certain things to get it out, the upper adjustment bracket should come off with only 2 12mm (or 14mm?) bolts on the front.

 

good luck with that but get online or call me to tell me what else happened (like why are you taking the alternator off)

 

it will come out, just keep at it

 

well i as i put it if it wont come off beat the thing off, but check to see that all the connections are loose and free as epstein stated

 

haha, you said "beat off".

So, hows it coming so far SuperK?

 

maybe you should just pay someone else to work on your car before you completely ruin it?

 

Yeah, I definately agree. If you are not born knowing everything, you shouldn't even try.

 

thats not what im saying.
but seriously. its an alternator. not something hard.
this is like "how do i change a tire?!?!?!?!"
