With the help of the engine removal thread (thanks for all the useful text and photos),
I dropped my 2.0 on Sunday, the DAPO painted the alloy fan should black. Now the DACO, me, is trying to remove the shroud so I can have it media blasted back to natural. The front half seems to be hung up in the alternator area but I can't find any more screws or bolts to remove. The inner is still solid to the engine. I need to get these off. Photo is not of my engine but the alloy shroud is what I'm trying to remove. Any suggestions? |

Also, there's supposed to be a circlip that secures the alternator boot to the fan housing (on the inside of the boot and on the inside of the fan housing).
It's best to install the boot in the housing first, because it's a lot easier to get the circlip installed properly. (A lot of folks don't bother with the circlip because it's a pain in the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) to retrofit, especially with the motor installed in the car). It might behoove you to get a new boot if yours isn't in good condition. They're pretty inexpensive (around $15 at Airhead Parts or some of the other bus specialty parts houses) ... just make sue you get the one for the 45 amp alternator. P.S. Your lower alternator bracket is all packaged up and going in the mail later today ... enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
