So, the bearing in my alternator went out at the autocross this last weekend and luckly I made it home alright. I then spent all Sat. night replacing it and I must say that some junior engineer was on crack when he designed the placement on our cars. That had to have been the most frustrating work that I have done on that car in a while. You can't get to anything without removing everything, you have to take off the back cover and unhook the wiring while holding it up in the car, and all those damn cheese head bolts do not want to cooperate. Well, it is all fixed now and I am good to go...rant over.
