I have a 1976 914 2.0 that I'm trying to get the alternator out to have it rebuilt. I've used the information of this site along with Pelican and the factory repair manuals. The only place that says you have to remove the left heat exchanger is the factory manual. At the very least there is one section of J shaped exhaust header towards the front held by three bolts through the pipe flanges that has tin around it that looks like it might have to be removed in order to drop the alternator out from the bottom. I've managed to remove all the tin screws, nuts and bolts and stopped at this point because there doesn't seem to be a way to get the alternator completely out without removing this pipe. Am I headed in the right direction? I have pictures of the piece if it would help to post them.
