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

Not required, we greased it when we had it

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
