Replacing Alternator
#12
By the way, after you succeed in replacing the alternator, you might want to consider replacing the oil pan gasket. I think it may have a substantial oil leak.

Try rotating the alternator sideways so that the alternator pulley is facing the rear or front of the car.

As mk mentioned above, no weight of the car is sitting on the front wheels, right?

Just wanted to update you... My brother came over and we decided to pull the axle and hub. Pulled the axle out of the tranny and the alternator dropped right through, put the new one in and then replaced the axle. Tried to put the alternator in the bottom bracket and it wouldn't fit, so we had to take off the bracket and hammer the sleeve to make more room. Remounted the bracket and put the alternator back in and tightened everything down.. Now i'm down a quart of tranny fluid from taking the axle out, still have the valve cover off painting it, but the alternator is back in! What a fun day of working on the car...
