Title: Alternator Change
Post by Stallion on 08. May 2011 at 21:03

Would i need any special tools/ramp to remove the alternator or it can be done from the top. Any words of advice. TIA Sam :y

cant be done from top imo, under car with stands or ramp, no special tools required normal spanners will do it :y

Multiram setup out.

Aux belt off.

Disconnect battery

Remove the two securing bolts (one end is torx, the other end hex)

swing the alternator out and disconnect the two rear electrical connections.
