How Do You Remove A Vehicles Alternator Bolt?
To remove a car’s alternator, you first have to remove the bolts holding it to the engine mounting bracket. Generally, there are either 2 or 3 bolts holding the alternator in place. Here’s how to find and remove them. Get the alternator ready to work on by removing the fan belt, or serpentine belt, from the pulley attached to the front of the alternator. Disconnect the wires running from the alternator to the battery. Locate the bolts holding the alternator to the engine bracket. These bolts have hex heads and run through the length of the alternator’s body into the threads in the mounting bracket. You may have to feel around with your fingers to find them because sometimes they are fitted into recesses in the front of the alternator housing and not easily visible. Select the correct socket to fit the bolt hex heads and attach it to your socket wrench. Loosen and remove the bolts one at a time by turning your wrench to your left until the bolt is loose enough to turn with your fingers
