Hello, everybody, it's the freakin new guy again with an "I was swimming in the deep-end of the pool" problem. I was replacing my alternator with a "new" re-manufactured Bosch alternator yesterday. The "new" alternator did not include the alternator cooling fan/pulley assembly. I attempted to remove the fan/pulley assembly by using a long-shaft screwdriver stuffed between the pulley fan blades to hold it in place while I attempted to undo the large nut holding it on. I should have realized that I was about to make a mistake, but.... I ended up breaking two of the cast aluminum alt. fan cooling blades. I have searched the forums for related info, but to no avail. I have searched the internet, but find only alternators without the fan/pulley assembly. I need to figure out what I can do about this, so I can get my baby back on the road. does anybody have any experience with this issue? All input gratefully accepted.
