Cockeyed alternator 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Sun Feb 17 18:35 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm not sure if the bushings are anything special - I just went with the polyurethane replacements from IPD. About $6.50 each. Their big catalog had a table listing how many you'd probably need for each accessory. The alternators want three (two on the mounting bracket, one on the adjusting bit). Probably a good idea to check the wires on the back of the alternator - my money says that the thin wire is going to look pretty mangy.

I'd love to report success. All three nearly slid out with the tap of a finger (yikes). I put two in just fine. However, that front one I !@#@!'d up and tried to put the insert in before the bushing was pushed in. And I cleaned out the sleeve. OOPS. Lots of friction, and now I've got maybe 1/16 inch to go before the alternator will even fit in there. *sigh*

REALLY FRUSTATING.
