jcorallo 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 1) stick an M8 bolt into the tensioner to release the belt tension2) remove tensioner bolts x 3 and tensioner3) undo front and rear engine mount bolts4) jack engine up a few inches5) use allen key to undo alt bolts - you need to lift the engine to let the long bolts come right out6) undo wiring to alternator7) lever alternator away from supportIf putting a different alternator back, you might need to adjust the circular/tubular steel spacers where the alternator mounts to the enigne bracket - just use a good pair of mole grips, or a vice to budge them along a bit if needed, otherwise the alternator might not fit to the engine.Jules Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 where did you get that kit from? ebay? and does it come with the different compunds etc... how much?Its got everything you need... 3 abrasive compounds and 3 polishing bars with 6 large mops (different types to suit each compound)... plus a load of little mops for tricky bits. Got it from www.frosts.co.uk £40 iirc. well worth the money... it doesnt make it that much quicker to do but its nots so much hard work and you get a better finish.I'll post pics when Ive finished project bling!
