Loosen the pully bolt (more) Posted by Gene N [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: alternator removal, Val, Sat, 30 Mar 2002 21:04:31 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Loosen the bolt that goes through the center of the tensioner pulley, then loosen the tensioning bolt on the side. I assume you have taken the A/C compressor belt off first. If you haven't done that yet, loosen the A/C idler pulley bolt (13 mm) and then turn the adjuster (the larger outside bolt) to loosen the A/C belt tension.
I seem to remember that you have to take out one the bottom bolt on the alternator (a socket head allen screw) and just loosen the top bolt. Once the alternator is loose you can pull it forward and unbolt the battery and exciter connections. (You have removed the positive terminal from the battery well before this point, I hope.)
I was able to get my brushes out with the alternator in place, put couldn't get the new ones in for the life of me. With the alternator out, it was a lot easier to get the brush pack back in, plus I was able to clean 11 years worth of grease off it.
