it is a bit of a ballet changing the alternator... Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Alternator bushing replacement notes, Bailey924, Tue, 6 Mar 2007 22:20:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
especially if the car has AC.
my misc notes too:
i drain coolant and undo both heater hoses at the firewall for easier access to the alternator. a 15/16 deep socket is needed to undo the rad drain plug.
the hex head is a 6 mm IIRC. i put some grease inside the socket to keep the bit from falling out as i drop it in there to either unfasten or fasten the hex head bolt.
i had the same problem with bushings protruding so i got a small socket on the metal sleeve and used my bench vice to press the inside of the bushing even further into its home, sucking the outside of the bushing further in, allowing the alternator more room to slide in between the bushings.
They say only use the rubber bushings, the poly bushings fail from the engine heat.
