because the 2nd time i pulled it, i didn't have to remove the carbs and fan shroud!! what a pleasure that was!!
i didn't think it was possible to pull the alternator out, without pulling everything off!! thanks to krk and his very helpful thread and fotos which helped me tremendously the 1st time i pulled my alt. from what i've learned through this process, is that the alt and fan on the 6cyl engines can seize in the housing and on the shaft over time and can be a bitch to get off. if you've never had yours out you will probably need to pull the carbs and the shroud to make it all easier. and also to have a good look under the shroud and clean everything up. remember to antiseize everything on reassembly when i had to pull my alt for the 2nd time, (within a week) i reeeeeeeally didn't want to pull everything off again. i had to pull the fan out then turn the fan housing sideways and then pull the alt out. barely enough room to get it out. saved a lot of time!! doug |
