weird noise

[1813mdw]

yeah i tryed a hammer and didnt budge at all

keep at it, bud. its a strong ass bolt so dont worry about it breakin. you can also try sprayin it w/ pbblaster or pourin a little trans fluid on it to break it loose.

and be sure to wiggle it side to side too, not just front to back

[-$MOKIN-]

....hit it hard . Lol


Are you kidding me ?

PUt the nutt back on it with a socket and a long extension and smack threw the wheel well

[1813mdw]

i would do it w/ the nut on. it might fack up the threads on it

Please don't beat on the bolt. You need to loosen the adjuster mechanism on top of the alternator before the tension will come off the lower bolt and the belt. You will use a 12mm box end wrench and a lot of patience.

sometimes it annoying having a nice camera cause it will only take a pic when its perfectly focused so i had to do it manually so this is as good as i could do

the bolt is right behind the shadow in the middle

Yeah that things pretty rusty ..wow maybe hit the bottom of the bracket. to jar it up a little .. good luck

LOL. Yeah, I'm pretty much not the guy who breaks anything if I can help it.

Razr, are you able to unbolt the bracket from the block? If you can remove it that way, you'll be able to get the whole mechanism out on your table where you can work on it properly. It will be a real hassle to try to get leverage on it under the car.

[1813mdw]

yes, just one bolt on bottom. as for the bracket, it can be removed. not sure if the alt is in the way or not, or how many bolts either.

as for that motherfucking pain in the ass bolt its fused to the alternator so im getting a propane tank tomorrow hopefully

[-$MOKIN-]

What? ? a propane tank ? Did u get the alternator off?

[RAZR]

yeah a propane tank and used that to try to heat it up to get the bolt out and nothing so im gunna have to take it in and have them try to take it off and fix it

[1813mdw]

you could try starting at the other end of the bolt. with a flashlight you should be able see it. i would try to "wedge" a strong flathead with some light taps from a hammer. if you can get it to budge a little go back to the other end and smack it the rest of the way.

Already tried that and still won't move at all. I had the wheel off and was smacking on it and it didn't move at ALL.

[Dr_Snooz]

You always have the nuclear option. Get an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. Cut the bolt out. Then replace the alternator and bracket.
