Hi all,
I'm removing the engine from my 914 and found some instructions about engine removal. On article says to "disconnect alternator harness". No pictures or other information. What does that mean? engine tins need to be removed? Any pics? Thanks! |

QUOTE(wndsnd @ May 31 2016, 07:46 AM)  PM Sent Gentlemen, all I can say is WOW! I love all the information! SO here is the other part, it was converted to carbs. so no ECM. I'm guessing I don't need anything on the alternator side to remove it. I am having another issues. The shift linkage is ceased and the 4mm hex is rounded. I tried penetrating oil, heat, cutting a notch, welding a nut (kept falling) any ideas to remove it? Thanks again. G |

G Take a similar sized torx bit and tap it into the allen bolt head with a hammer. Hammer hard. Once it is well and truly wedged in, a careful turn of the wrench should loosen the bolt. |
