Title: how not to change an alternator 66 230
Post by: merrill on July 20, 2007, 16:22:47
so, found out today the hard way to change the alt. after disconnecting the wires, I unbolted the adjuster and removed the belt and left the adjuster clamp in the car AND I then removed the long pivot bolt from the alt / mounting bracket.

then all sorts for washers and spacers fell out.

next time , just disconnect all the wires, fan belt and leave the adjusting clamp / nut on the alt.  then remove the 2 bolts from the bracket and all is much eaier to get to and re assemble.
