Alternator replacing

Post by gordonlear » Sun Jun 22, 2014 8:16 pm

I'm changing the alternator and on 5th. What the best way to get to the bottom bolt? Looks like a bit of a pig to get too.

The bottom bolt is the easier bolt to get to. The top bolt is the harder one.
I got an alt change down to about 3 mins now taking it off and on so often.

I found the top one easy. Not sure the best way to get to the bottom one?

14mm spanner slid in the small gap in the front or a socket on a long extension.
