Sup guys,

I am replacing my alternator right now using the step-by-step guide at motorvate.ca. I see the top bolt on the alternator, but the lower bolt is hidden from the eye.. Any tips on how to get to this bolt? where is it? Anything else I need ot remove to get to it??

Ok, imagine the outside side of the alternator is the side that has the pulley on it, and the inner side is the other side (closer to the center of the car).

You can find the lower bolt by feel. Just look at where the far end of the bolt threads into the square-shaped piece on the outer side, then run your hand up the other side of the alternator and you'll find the bolt head at about the same place.

 

yea thanks man. All I had to do was look at the new alternator and it was clear where the second bolt was :-)
