Grrrr....Just got an estimate to replace my alternator with a rebuilt Bosch unit, $577 installed and complete....Don't have time to fix it myself, and really don't know what's involved. I thought it sounded steep, but i could be way off base. Sound reasonable? Opinions from the Captin?

You need to remove the left-side heater ducting, the left-front engine tin (those screws can be a pain in the tight space under there!), and the pinch bolt and pivot bolt.
It shouldn't take a whole afternoon, unless you work very slowly indeed or do it wrong. The first three times. (D'OH! Not that I'm bitter.) You need access from the bottom and from the top. I put the car up on jack stands (of course!) and used a step-stool to get into the engine bay from the top side. I got pretty good at it... --DD |
