Subject:I cant reach the alternator bracket bolt
From:Gary Goldey
Date:Thu, 24 Feb 2005 08:29:26 EST

I just installed a new alternator but I didnt notice that the mounting
bracket that holds the bottom bolt on the alternator has loosened up----it looks
loke a 13MM---Thing is that cant fit a straight wrench or socket in there without
major dismantlement of surrounding "stuff"---anyone have experience here?
Will a curved wrench or a knuckle-jointed swivel socket extension help?  I cant
afford alot of $$$ this week to experiment on new tools and I sure do not want
to dissasemble all this out in the rain.----PS..hope it holds together untill
I drop the wife off....
Thanks----G.
