Need help with Alternator ASAP!!!

[BostonCB7Head]

I already took off all the bolts, the alternator is free, the only problem is i cant get it out of the car. The only way i can think of now is by undoing my power steering. Is there a way I can take it out with out doing that? Im doing it right now, so if you guys can help Id appreciate it.

so you loosened the bottom through bolt and the adjusting bolt? i had to take a rubber mallet to my civic's alternator to get it to pop loose since it was the original and finagle it out because there was a bunch of shit in the way. try knocking it about gently?

u have to pry it out. if that doesnt work. i think u need to take off the ps pump off the bracket, and then it should come out

Yeah, you shouldn't have to remove the p/s pump. Try coming at it from the top with a small prybar.

no, i mean its already out of the bracket, i banged it out, i just cant get it out of the car to put the new one in

[5sp5drCB]

Do you still have the wires hooked up or something? If it's free and completely removed from the bracket then I don't see the problem.

the easiest way is by unbolting the p/s pump and putting it to the side and then you have plenty of space to do as you wish you don't have to remove the houses just unbolt the bottom of the pump and roll it up on the top bolt that frees the alt

Exactly, you don't have to remove the pump just undo the adjuster bolt underneath and push it up out of the way with the belt off, you might have to remove one of the hoses. Then you have more room to go at the alternator. Make sure to remeber how the adjuster bolt goes back in under the alt because you can't really see it that well.
