I have a new Bowlsby alternator wiring harness I bought off of a member here. Can I install it without removing the alternator? At quick glance it doesn't appear possible, but figured it was worth asking before going forward.

Thanks!

I think you may be able to remove the rear cover of the alt without removing it from the car, but I'm pretty sure it will be a lot easier to deal with if you just get it out of there.

If you can remove the engine tin screws (always a big "if" for me!) the left-front piece of tin comes off separately just to allow for alternator removal from under the car without having to just from above to below and back a hundred times.
