Psych0matt Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 So, I haven't removed one in a long time, so I'm probably going to sound like a newb! I basically realized to get this alternator out it'll be best to take the shaft out, which is fine, I have nothing but time (even though I'd like it done now ). I was just wondering the best route, any precautions I should take, and if there's anything 5 speed specific. I'm sure I'll end up calling Ken at some point anyways but any suggestions, pointers, or tips would be appreciated. I already have the hub off, but I can't find my axle nut socket, so I'll probably have to borrow (or buy) one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 you really should not have to for a 284. there is a bracket you can unbolt the side of, and that should give you plenty of clearance to slip it out, you may have to pop the tie rod end off the knuckle though.

Psych0matt Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Elaborate. I have the tie rod end off, and now the brake off and hub bolts. I have the cradle on that side dropped but just cant seem to coax the alt out. It's loose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternator? Tie rod? Maybe theres something I'm missing that's not allowing me to get it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Ok, I thought about that before but wasn't sure what it was. That'll give me way more than enough room I think. Top bolt, or bottom, or just take the whole thing out?
