tried and gave up on geting my alternator out. is there a trick to get it out that im missing ?
i thought it would drop out underneath but it wont fit, and above is blocked, isit a case of p/s pump off and coolant hose off and other pipes out and lift it out from above ? seems alot to take off must be a better way?
