Plenty of releasing agent on the adjuster bolt below the alternator!

Not required, we greased it when we had it :cool

10mm spanner is all you’ll require but to make life easier take off the stone guard which you’ll need a 10mm socket and a 6” extension bar.

I took the alternator off today. Never done this job before. Hardest bit was getting the undertray off as the bolts were threaded.

Alternator taken to the local engineers for a refurb as they had none in stock. 1 day turnaround, and it will cost £65.

Fitting on Friday all being well. Hope it goes well :bored
